         For 2018, the Budget requests $66.4 billion in advance appropriations for the four medical care appropriations: Medical Services,
            Medical Community Care, Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities. This request for advance appropriations fulfills
            the Administration's commitment to provide reliable and timely resources to support the delivery of accessible and high-quality
            medical services for veterans. This funding enables timely and predictable funding for VA's medical care to prevent our Nation's
            veterans from being adversely affected by budget delays, and provides opportunities to more effectively use resources in a
            constrained fiscal environment.
         
         For 2017, Medical Care appropriations are increased by $1.7 billion over the 2017 advance appropriations request of $63.3
            billion. Each year, VA updates its budget estimates to incorporate the most recent data on health care utilization rates,
            actual program experience, and other factors, such as economic trends in unemployment and inflation. As a result of these
            updates, the adjusted budget estimates more accurately reflect the projected medical demands of veterans enrolled in the VA
            health care system.
         
         The Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 ("Veterans Choice Act"), Public Law 113â146 provided $5 billion
            in mandatory funding to increase veterans' access to health care by hiring more physicians and staff and improving VA's physical
            infrastructure. It also provided $10 billion in mandatory funding through 2017 to establish a temporary program ("Veterans
            Choice Program") improving veterans' access to health care by allowing eligible veterans who meet certain wait-time or distance
            standards to use eligible health care providers outside the VA system.
         
         With the resources requested for 2017 and 2018, VA will provide the highest quality health care services for veterans. VA
            estimates it will treat 7.0 million patients in 2017 and 7.1 million patients in 2018. Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation
            Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) veterans are expected to reach 922,664 in 2017 (13.2 percent of the total)
            and 995,196 in 2018 (14.0 percent of the total).
         
         Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF).âVA estimates collections of nearly $3.6 billion in 2017 and over $3.6 billion in 2018, representing over five percent of
            available Medical Care resources in both years. VA has the authority to collect inpatient and outpatient co-payments, medication
            co-payments, and nursing home co-payments; authority for certain income verification; authority to recover third-party insurance
            payments from veterans for nonservice-connected conditions; and authority to collect revenue from enhanced use leases. These
            collections also include those collected from the Compensated Work Therapy Program, Compensation and Living Expenses Program,
            and the Parking Program.
         
         Medical Services.âFor Medical Services, the Budget reflects the following discretionary appropriation funding: the 2016 enacted advance appropriation
            of $47.6 billion, augmented with $2.4 billion (as provided in Public Law 114â113); the 2017 enacted advance appropriation
            of $51.7 billion, together with an additional $1.1 billion as requested in this Budget; and the 2018 advance appropriation
            request of $44.9 billion. This appropriation provides for a comprehensive, integrated health care delivery system that addresses
            the needs of eligible veterans and beneficiaries in VA medical centers, outpatient clinic facilities, contract hospitals,
            State homes, and outpatient programs on a fee basis. Hospital and outpatient care is also provided by the private sector for
            certain dependents and survivors of veterans under the Civilian Health and Medical Programs for the Department of Veterans
            Affairs (CHAMPVA). In addition to this funding, the Budget reflects mandatory funding provided in section 801 of the Veterans
            Choice Act (Public Law 113â146): $1.7 billion remains in 2016.
         
            WORKLOADEstimated obligations and workload for six categories of health care services are shown below: outpatient care, inpatient
            care, mental health care, long term services and supports, prosthetics care, and dental care. In addition, estimated obligations
            and workload are also shown for four programs: CHAMPVA and other dependent programs, readjustment counseling, Caregivers,
            and non-VA care. In each of the six categories of health care services, the obligations and workload shown reflect only the
            provision of care by VA providers; obligations and workload for all types of non-VA care are displayed separately in the section
            on non-VA care. Finally, the obligations for each of the six categories of health care services do not include the funding
            provided by section 801 of the Veterans Choice Act, but the estimated workload levels do include the additional workload associated
            with this funding.
         
         Outpatient care.âObligations in the Medical Services account for 2017 are estimated to be $26,028 million for this health service category,
            which includes funding for ambulatory care in VA hospital-based and community-based clinics.

         Mental health care.âObligations in the Medical Services account for 2017 are estimated to be $5,852 million for the inpatient, residential,
            and outpatient care of veterans with conditions related to mental illness, including alcohol and drug problems. Mental health
            services and operations ensure the availability of a range of services, from treatment of a variety of common mental health
            conditions in primary care to more intensive interventions in specialty mental health programs for more severe and persisting
            mental health conditions. Specialty services such as evidence-based psychotherapies, intensive outpatient programs, residential
            rehabilitation treatment, and inpatient care are available to meet the range of veterans' needs.

         Long term services and supports.âObligations in the Medical Services account for 2017 are estimated to be $3,166 million for the care of veteran residents
            in VA-operated long-term care programs. VA offers a spectrum of geriatric and extended care services to veterans enrolled
            in its health care system. The spectrum of long-term care services includes non-institutional and institutional services.
            All VA medical centers provide home- and community-based long-term care programs. The patient-focused approach supports veterans
            who wish to live safely at home in their own communities for as long as possible. In addition, veterans receive institutional
            long-term care through one of four venues: VA Community Living Centers (CLCs); Community Nursing Homes; State Veterans Nursing
            Homes; and State Veterans Home Domiciliaries. The operating levels for institutional care below represent only VA CLCs.

         Prosthetics care.âObligations in the Medical Services account for 2017 are estimated to be $3,646 million for veterans. Prosthetic and Sensory
            Aids Service is an integrated delivery system designed to provide medically prescribed prosthetic and sensory aids, medical
            devices, assistive aids, repairs and services to eligible disabled veterans to maximize the independence and enhance their
            quality of life. This includes, but is not limited to, artificial limbs, hearing aids, and home oxygen; items that improve
            accessibility such as ramps and vehicle modifications, wheelchairs and mobility aids; and devices surgically placed in the
            veteran, such as stents.
         
         Dental care.âObligations in the Medical Services account for 2017 are estimated to be $1,089 million for the treatment of veterans who
            require dental care. Dental care services are provided to eligible veterans with a "medical condition negatively impacted
            by poor dentition." These patients may include poorly controlled diabetic patients, patients with head or neck cancer, organ
            transplant patients, and others. Veterans with a 100 percent service-connected disability are eligible for comprehensive dental
            care as needed. In addition, homeless veterans enrolled in certain residential treatment programs are also eligible for dental
            treatment.

         For 2018, the Budget requests $9.4 billion in advance appropriations for Medical Community Care. This request for advance
            appropriations fulfills the Administration's commitment to provide reliable and timely resources to support the delivery of
            accessible and high-quality medical services for veterans.
         
         The Medical Community Care appropriation provides for the furnishing of Hospital Care and Medical Services to eligible veterans
            through agreements with certain eligible entities that have an agreement to provide such care and services for VA. Medical
            Community Care will be the source of funding for care that VA provides to veterans through community providers.

         For 2018, the Budget requests $6.7 billion in advance appropriations for Medical Support and Compliance. This request for
            advance appropriations fulfills the Administration's commitment to provide reliable and timely resources to support the delivery
            of accessible and high-quality medical services for veterans.
         
         For Medical Support and Compliance, the Budget reflects the following discretionary appropriation funding from 2016 through
            2018: the 2016 enacted advance appropriation of $6.1 billion, the 2017 enacted advance appropriation of $6.5 billion, and
            the 2018 advance appropriation request of $6.7 billion. In addition to this funding, the Budget reflects mandatory funding
            provided in section 801 of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 (Public Law 113â146): $27 million remains
            available in 2016.
         
         Medical Support and Compliance appropriation finances the expenses of management, security, and administration of the VA health
            care system through the operation of VA medical centers, other facilities, Veterans Integrated Service Network offices and
            facility director offices, chief of staff operations, quality of care oversight, legal services, billing and coding activities,
            procurement, financial management, and human resource management.

         The purpose of the Department of Defense-Veterans Affairs Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund, often referred to as the Joint
            Incentive Fund (JIF), is to enable the Departments to carry out a program to identify and provide incentives to implement
            creative sharing initiatives at the facility, intra-regional and nationwide levels. The JIF promotes collaboration and new
            approaches to problem solving to enable the Departments to improve the coordination of health care services. The Departments
            have established the fund and developed processes and criteria to solicit and select projects. Section 721 of the 2003 National
            Defense Authorization Act, Public Law 107â314, established the fund and requires VA and Department of Defense to establish
            a joint incentive program. In 2017, each Secretary shall contribute a minimum of $15 million to the fund after the appropriation
            is enacted.

         For 2018, the Budget requests advance appropriations of $5.4 billion for Medical Facilities. This request for advance appropriations
            fulfills the Administration's commitment to provide reliable and timely resources to support the delivery of accessible and
            high-quality medical services for veterans.
         
         For Medical Facilities, the Budget reflects the following discretionary appropriation funding from 2016 through 2018: the
            2016 enacted advance appropriation of $4.9 billion, together with an additional $105 million (as directed in Public Law 114â113);
            the 2017 enacted advance appropriation request of $5.1 billion, together with an additional $649 million as requested in this
            Budget; and the 2018 advance appropriation request of $5.4 billion. In addition to this funding, the Budget reflects mandatory
            funding provided in section 801 of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 (Public Law 113â146): $1.2
            billion remains available in 2016.
         
         Medical Facilities provides for the operations and maintenance of the capital infrastructure required to provide health care
            to the Nation's veterans. These costs include utilities, engineering, capital planning, leases, laundry services, grounds
            maintenance, trash removal, housekeeping, fire protection, pest management, facility repair and maintenance, and property
            disposition and acquisition.

         For 2017, the total budgetary resources of $1.9 billion is comprised of $663 million in direct appropriations, $564 million
            in medical care support such as physicians' pay, utilities and other overhead, $500 million in Federal grants, and $185 million
            in other non-federal resources. The research program will support 3,521 full time equivalents through direct appropriation.
         
         This account is an intramural program that has had outstanding success performing research that has led to critical clinical
            achievements that improve the health and quality of life for veterans and the Nation. VA research transforms medicine by engaging
            veterans as research volunteers and utilizing the results of that research in clinical care. Through technology, advancements,
            innovations, and information, research helps transform VA's health care into a leading example of medicine in the twenty-first
            century.
         
         In 2017, VA's research priorities focus on ensuring world-class care for veterans throughout their lives, emphasizing personalized
            precision medicine approaches to improve clinical outcomes, and developing a Learning Health Care System. Health services
            research will continue to advance implementation of improved treatments in the VA health care system and optimize systems
            approaches to care delivery. VA will advance engineering research and development to improve the lives of disabled veterans
            by personalizing prosthetic systems that replace lost limbs or activate remaining nerves and muscles.
         
         Building on the Million Veteran Program (MVP) to advance the President's Precision Medicine initiative (PMI) is a major goal
            for VA Research in 2017 and 2018. MVP, a groundbreaking genomic research program, seeks to collect genetic samples and general
            health information from one million veterans. This program will use genetic analysis to show how to improve treatments by
            understanding individual patients, thus improving care for veterans and the Nation. MVP has enrolled more than 438,000 veterans.
            An initial genetic analysis is ongoing; some data are now available to investigators who are beginning studies on postraumatic
            stress disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and Gulf War Illness. VA research is committed to ensuring the success of
            the PMI, and in FY 2017 will reprioritize program spending to provide additional support to this initiative.
         
         Research to benefit Gulf War veterans remains a priority. Over the past several years, the number of projects funded and the
            level of funding have increased each year. As directed by Senate Report 111â40, the VA research program ensures that no less
            than $15 million is available for Gulf War research each year; the actual amount spent on such research depends on the quantity
            and quality of research proposals. VA has worked to develop Gulf War researchers to ensure that research proposals of high
            scientific merit are submitted. Funding increased from $9.7 million in 2014, to $10.5 million in 2015, $12.5 million in 2016,
            with a 2017 estimate of $15 million.
         
         VA is expanding research efforts to improve women veterans' health, by studying how VA provides for women veterans' general
            and gender-specific health care needs, and understanding military experiences of women veterans as well as later health risk
            factors.
         
         VA works closely with other federal agencies to assure effective use of scarce taxpayer resources in executing its research
            mission. We conduct joint programmatic reviews with the Department of Defense (DoD) and National Institutes of Health to ensure
            that our research efforts are well coordinated and Under the President's National Research action Plan (NRAP), VA and DoD
            created research consortia for traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress disorder, investing $107 million over five
            years. High level coordination has become routine for all three agencies, benefit veterans and the American public.
         
         Veterans' health issues are addressed comprehensively in the following four program divisions and the medical care research
            support required for these programs:
         
         Biomedical laboratory.âSupports preclinical research to understand life processes from a molecular, genomic, and physiological level in regard
            to diseases affecting veterans.
         
         Clinical science.âAdministers investigations (i.e., human subject research such as drug, surgical, single subject, pilot, and multi-center
            cooperative studies as well as feasibility trials) aimed at instituting new, more effective clinical care.
         
         Health services.âSupports studies to identify and promote effective and efficient strategies to improve the delivery of health care to veterans.
         
         Rehabilitation.âDevelops novel approaches to restoring veterans with traumatic amputation, central nervous system injuries, loss of sight
            and/or hearing, or other physical and cognitive impairments to full and productive lives.
         
         VA's Medical and Prosthetic Research programs are included in the Federal Research and Development (R&D) budget.

         The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) will each contribute funding to the Joint Department
            of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund, established by section 1704 of Public Law 111â84,
            the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. This funding will support the continuing operations of the Captain
            James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center (FHCC), which opened on December 20, 2010. In 2016 and 2017, VA expects to transfer
            funds from the Medical Services, Medical Support and Compliance, Medical Facilities, and Information Technology Systems accounts,
            while DOD expects to transfer funds from the Defense Health Program account.

         VA has the authority to collect co-payments, which are deposited into the Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF) receipt account.
            As allowed by the provisions of the appropriations Act, these receipts are transferred to Medical Services, Medical Community
            Care, and the Joint Department of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund (Joint Demonstration
            Fund) appropriations where they remain available until expended for the purposes of this account. In 2015, nearly $3.5 billion
            was collected in the MCCF receipt account and transferred to the Medical Services appropriation and Joint Demonstration Fund
            to provide health care to our veterans. These collections consist of co-payments from veterans for inpatient, outpatient,
            and nursing home care, and prescribed medications; third-party insurance payments from veterans for nonservice-connected conditions;
            and collections from enhanced-use leases, the Compensated Work Therapy Program, Compensation and Living Expensed Program,
            and the Parking Program.

         The Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 ("Veterans Choice Act"), Public Law 113â146, provided $10 billion
            in mandatory funding through 2017 to establish a temporary program ("Veterans Choice Program") improving veterans' access
            to health care by allowing eligible veterans who meet certain wait-time or distance standards to use eligible health care
            providers outside the VA system. The law directed that this funding be deposited in the Veterans Choice Fund. In July 2015,
            Congress provided emergency funding for Hepatitis C ($500,000,000) and Care in the Community ($2,848,500,000) by passing Public
            Law 114â41, the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015, which gave VA temporary authority
            to use Veterans Choice Fund dollars on other programs. This authority ended on October 1, 2015 and does not extend into fiscal
            year 2016.
         
         Estimated operating levels are:

         This fund consists of gifts, bequests, and proceeds from the sale of property left in the care of the facilities by former
            beneficiaries; patients' fund balances; and proceeds from the sale of effects of beneficiaries who die leaving no heirs or
            without having otherwise disposed of their estate. Such funds are used to promote the comfort and welfare of veterans at hospitals,
            nursing homes, and domiciliaries where no general appropriation is available. Public Law 102â54 authorizes compensation work
            therapy and therapeutic transitional housing and loan programs to be funded from the General Post Fund. (38 U.S.C. chs. 83
            and 85.)

         For 2018, the Budget requests $90,119,449,000 in advance appropriations for Compensation and Pensions. This request satisfies
            the requirement created by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113â235) and prevents
            our Nation's veterans from being adversely affected by budget delays.
         
         This appropriation provides for the payment of compensation, pension, and burial benefits to veterans and survivors.
         Compensation is paid to veterans for disabilities incurred in or aggravated during active military service. Dependency and
            Indemnity Compensation is paid to survivors of servicepersons or veterans whose death occurred while on active duty or as
            a result of service-connected disabilities. Compensation and vocational rehabilitation is provided to the children of Vietnam
            veterans who were born with certain birth defects. The Secretary may pay a clothing allowance to each veteran who uses a prescribed
            medication for a service-connected skin condition or wears a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance (including a wheelchair) which,
            in the judgment of the Secretary, tends to damage or tear the clothing of such veteran.
         
         Miscellaneous benefits provided for are:
         (a) payments for claims made pursuant to the provision of the World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924, as amended;
         (b) a special allowance (38 U.S.C. 1312) to dependents of certain veterans who died after December 31, 1956, but who were
            not fully and currently insured under the Social Security Act; and
         
         (c) payments authorized by the Equal Access to Justice Act.
         The appropriation also provides for a program to allow VA to perform income matches for certain compensation recipients.
         In accordance with Public Law 97â377, the Reinstated Entitlement Program for Survivors (REPS) program restores Social Security
            benefits to certain surviving spouses or children of veterans who died of service-connected causes.
         
         Legislation is proposed to provide a cost-of-living adjustment comparable to the annual social security increase to recipients
            of disability compensation, dependency and indemnity compensation, and clothing allowances. The increase, effective with payments
            made on January 1, 2017, is expected to be 0.8 percent.

         Pension benefits may be paid to veterans or their survivors. A veteran's entitlement is based on active duty service of a
            specific length (normally 90 days or more) during a designated war period, disabilities considered permanent and total, and
            countable income below established levels. There is no disability requirement for survivor cases or veterans age 65 or older.
            Income support is provided at established benefit levels.
         
         An automatic annual cost-of-living increase comparable to the annual social security increase is provided for those pensioners
            in the improved program and to parents receiving dependency and indemnity compensation. The increase, effective with payments
            made on January 1, 2017, is expected to be 0.8 percent.

         For 2018, the Budget requests $13,708,648,000 in advance appropriations for Readjustment Benefits. This request satisfies
            the requirement created by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113â235) and prevents
            our Nation's Veterans from being adversely affected by budget delays.
         
         This appropriation finances educational assistance allowances for certain servicemembers, veterans, and for eligible dependents
            of those: (a) veterans who died from service-connected causes or have a total and permanent rated service-connected disability;
            and (b) servicemembers who were captured or missing in action. In addition, certain disabled veterans are provided with vocational
            rehabilitation, specially adapted housing grants, and automobile grants with the associated approved adaptive equipment. Voluntary
            contributions by eligible servicemembers and matching contributions provided by the Department of Defense are included in
            the Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Education Account.
         
         The Post 9â11 GI Bill (Chapter 33).âPublic Law 110â252 greatly expanded education benefits beginning on August 1, 2009. Based on length of active duty service
            and training rate, trainees may be entitled to benefits including: tuition and fees, housing allowance, books and supplies
            stipend, kickers, and Yellow Ribbon matching payments. Certain active duty members of the Armed Forces may transfer benefits
            to a spouse or children.
         
         All volunteer force educational assistance (Montgomery GI Bill).âPublic Law 98â525, enacted October 19, 1984, established two new educational programs: an assistance program for veterans
            who enter active duty during the period beginning July 1, 1985; and an assistance program for certain members of the Selected
            Reserve. Public Law 108â375 established a program to provide educational assistance to members of the reserve components called
            or ordered to active service in response to a war or national emergency declared by the President or the Congress, in recognition
            of the sacrifices that those members make in answering the call to duty. The Readjustment Benefit appropriation pays the basic
            benefit allowance for veterans, except for certain Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Education participants who transferred to the
            Montgomery GI Bill program. Supplementary educational assistance, Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Education converters, reservists,
            and the National Call to Service Program are financed by payments from Department of Defense.
         
         Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance (Chapter 35).âBenefits are provided to children and spouses of veterans who died of a service-connected disability or whose service-connected
            disability is rated permanent and total. In addition, dependents of servicemembers missing in action or interred by a hostile
            foreign government for more than 90 days are also eligible. The following table provides a comparison of trainees and costs
            for the Dependents Educational Assistance.
         
         The Veterans Retraining Assistance Program.âEstablished under Public Law 112â56, is a program that, from July 1, 2012 through March 31, 2014, provides up to 12 months
            of retraining assistance to veterans at least 35 years of age but not more than 60 years of age, who are unemployed, received
            an honorable discharge and have no eligibility remaining for other education benefits. Veterans participating in this program
            would receive monthly payments equal to the three-year payment rate under the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) chapter 30.
         
         The following table shows a caseload and cost comparison for these beneficiaries under existing legislation.

         Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Chapter 31).âServicemembers and veterans with service-connected disabilities receive the assistance necessary to help them prepare for,
            obtain, and maintain suitable employment. Comprehensive assessments may include interest and aptitude testing as well as specialized
            assessments such as functional capacity examinations. During the training phase of the program, eligible servicemembers and
            veterans are provided assistance for necessary training such as tuition, fees, books and supplies at colleges, technical schools
            and other training programs. A veteran enrolled in training receives a monthly subsistence allowance. Eligible veterans may
            also receive specialized or adaptive equipment to help them overcome a disability or enable them to compete with non-disabled
            individuals. At the completion of training, veterans are provided with employment and placement services, including supplies
            and equipment needed to enter employment, adaptive equipment and workplace accommodations, incentives to employers to reimburse
            them for hiring and training veterans with disabilities, and two final months of subsistence allowance.

         Tuition Assistance.âPublic Law 106â398, enacted October 30, 2000, allows the military services to pay up to 100 percent of tuition and expenses
            charged by a school for servicemembers. If a service department pays less than 100 percent, a servicemember eligible for the
            Montgomery GI Bill Active-duty (MGIB) or the Post 9â11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) can elect to receive VA benefits for all or a
            portion of the remaining expenses. Public Law 108â454 established a program that provides availability of education benefits
            for payment for national admissions exams and national exams for credit at institutions of higher education.
         
         The National Exams.âThe benefit allows VA to reimburse for the fee charged for national tests for admission to institutions of higher learning
            and national tests providing an opportunity for course credit at institutions of higher learning.
         
         Licensing and Certification Test Payments.âUnder Public Law 106â419, veterans and other eligible persons may receive up to $2,000 to pay fees required for civilian
            occupational licensing and certification examinations needed to enter, maintain, or advance in employment in a vocation or
            profession, effective March 1, 2001.
         
         National Call to Service.âThe 2003 National Defense Authorization Act directs the Department of Defense to offer an active duty enlistment option
            of 15 months plus training time to facilitate interest in National Service. Program participants will be given the opportunity
            to select one of the following incentives: a $5,000 enlistment bonus, repayment of student loans up to $18,000, or one of
            two education allowances.
         
         Work-Study.âCertain veterans, reservists, and dependents pursuing a program of rehabilitation, education or training, who are enrolled
            as full-time students, can work up to 250 hours per semester, receiving the Federal ($7.25 as of July 24, 2009) or state minimum
            wage rate, whichever is higher.
         
         Payments to States.âState approving agencies are reimbursed for the costs of inspecting, approving, and supervising programs of education and
            training offered by educational institutions and training establishments in which veterans, dependents, and reservists are
            enrolled or are about to enter.
         
         Reporting Fees.âReporting fees are paid to education and training institutions to help defray the costs of certifying education enrollment
            for veterans enrolled in training during a calendar year.

            of servicepersons, veterans, and their beneficiaries through contracts with a commercial company. All programs are operated
            on a commercial basis, to the extent possible, consistent with all applicable statutes. The insurance appropriation is the
            supplemental funding mechanism for the following Government life insurance activities: National Service Life Insurance (NSLI);
            Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance Fund (S-DVI); and Veterans' Mortgage Life Insurance.
         
         National Service Life Insurance.âPayments are made to the NSLI fund for certain World War II veterans for: (a) extra hazards of service; (b) gratuitous insurance
            granted to certain persons unable to apply for National Service Life Insurance; and (c) death claims on policies under the
            waiver of a premium while the insured was on active duty.
         
         Payment to Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance Fund.âPayments are made to the S-DVI fund to supplement the premiums and other receipts of the fund in amounts necessary to pay
            claims on insurance policies issued to veterans with service-connected disabilities.
         
         Veterans' Mortgage Life Insurance.âPayments are made to mortgage holders under this program, which provides mortgage protection life insurance to veterans
            who have received a grant for specially adapted housing due to severe disabilities. The trend in the number and amount of
            insurance policies in force appears in the following table.

            (Public Law 110â329), to make payments to eligible persons who served in the Philippines during World War II. Payments were

            of $198,000,000 was supplemented by a transfer of $67,000,000 authorized by Public Law 111â212 that remains available until
            expended. Payments to citizens of the United States are $15,000. Payments to non-U.S. citizens are $9,000.

         The Insurance Act of 1951 established the Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance (S-DVI) program for veterans with service-connected
            disabilities. S-DVI is open to veterans who separated from the service on or after April 25, 1951. This fund finances the
            payment of claims on existing life insurance policies and remains open for new issues at standard rates to veterans having
            service-connected disabilities.

         Financing.âOperations are financed from premiums and other receipts. Additional funds are received by transfer from the Veterans Insurance
            and Indemnities appropriation, instead of direct appropriations to this fund.
         
         Operating results and financial condition.âSince premium and other receipts are insufficient to cover operations, the fund continues to project liabilities in excess
            of assets. The deficit is expected to reach an estimated $ 1,399 million by September 30, 2017. The expected deficit is financed
            by additional funds from the above-mentioned Veterans Insurance and Indemnities appropriations.

         Note.âDepartment of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously
            shown for this account have been discontinued.
         
         This fund pays claims and administrative costs on participating life insurance policies issued during the period May 1, 1965,
            through May 2, 1966, under three life insurance programs: 1) service-disabled standard insurance; 2) service-disabled rated
            insurance; and 3) nonservice-disabled insurance availing disabled World War II and Korean conflict veterans an opportunity
            to acquire life insurance coverage who were no longer eligible for other government insurance.
         
         Budget program:
         
         Death claims.âRepresents payments to designated beneficiaries.
         
         Dividends.âPolicyholders participate in the distribution of annual dividends.
         
         All other.âThis represents resources for the administrative costs of processing claims and maintaining the accounts, and to those policyholders
            who: (a) surrender their policies for cash value; (b) hold endowment policies which have matured; and (c) have purchased total
            disability income coverage and subsequently become disabled.
         
         Policy loans made.âA policyholder may borrow up to 94 percent of the cash value of his policy at an interest rate adjusted to reflect private
            sector borrowing costs.
         
         The following table reflects the decrease in the number of policies and the amount of insurance in force:

         This fund finances the payment of group life insurance premiums to private insurance companies under the Servicemembers' Group
            Life Insurance (SGLI) Act of 1965, as amended. SGLI is a program for Servicemembers on active duty, ready reservists, members
            of the National Guard, members of the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Public
            Health Service, cadets and midshipmen of the four service academies, and members of the Reserve Officer Training Corps. SGLI
            coverage is available in $50,000 increments up to the maximum of $400,000. Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) is a program
            of post-separation insurance which allows Servicemembers to convert their SGLI coverage to renewable term insurance. Family
            Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (FSGLI) is a program extended to the spouses and dependent children of members insured
            under the SGLI program. FSGLI provides up to a maximum of $100,000 of insurance coverage for spouses, not to exceed the amount
            of SGLI the insured member has in force, and $10,000 of free coverage for dependent children. Spousal coverage is issued in
            increments of $10,000.
         
         The Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection Program (TSGLI) became effective December 1, 2005. TSGLI
            provides for payment between $25,000 and $100,000 (depending on the type of injury) to any member of the uniformed services
            covered by SGLI who sustains a traumatic injury that results in certain serious losses.

          Veterans Affairs (VA) Housing Program Account.âThe housing program helps eligible veterans, active duty personnel, surviving spouses, and members of the Reserves and National
            Guard purchase, retain, and adapt homes in recognition of their service to the Nation. When a borrower purchases a home, the
            program operates by substituting the Federal Government's guaranty for a down payment that might otherwise be required.
         
         Under 38 U.S.C. 3703, the guaranty amount for a borrower with full entitlement (first-time users of the program or users whose
            entitlement is fully restored) is as follows:
         
         (a) 50 percent for loans of $45,000 or less;
         (b) $22,500 for loans greater than $45,000, but no more than $56,250;
         (c) The lesser of $36,000 or 40 percent of the loan amount for loans greater than $56,250, but not more than $144,000;
         (d) 25 percent of the loan amount for loans of $144,001 to $417,000; or
         (e) For certain loans in excess of $417,000, the guaranty will be the lesser of: 25 percent of the county loan limit, or 25
            percent of the loan.
         
         This appropriation provides for the corporate leadership and operational support to VA's Housing business line. The Housing
            Program facilitates the extension of private capital, on more liberal terms than generally available to nonveterans, to assist
            veterans and servicemembers in obtaining housing credit, and assist veterans in retaining their homes during periods of temporary
            economic difficulty through intensive supplemental mortgage loan servicing.
         
          Guaranteed transitional housing loans for homeless veterans.âEstablished as a pilot project by the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 1998, Public Law 105â368, this program does not
            require any new loan subsidy funding. The program has originated no new loans since 2009. The program was canceled in 2012.
            The existing loan will continue to be serviced within the program's financing account.

         This account consists of voluntary contributions by eligible servicemembers and matching contributions provided by the Department
            of Defense. The fund provides educational assistance payments to participants who entered the service after December 31, 1976,
            and are pursuing training under chapter 32, title 38, U.S.C. Section 901 is a non-contributory program with educational assistance
            provided by the Department of Defense. Public Law 99â576, enacted October 28, 1986, closed the program permanently for new
            enrollments effective March 31, 1987. Public Law 106â419, enacted November 1, 2000, provides qualified participants in this
            program another opportunity (through October 31, 2001) to convert to the All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance program
            (Montgomery GI Bill). The estimated activity in the fund follows:

         This fund was established in 1940. It is for the World War II servicemembers' and veterans' insurance program. Over 22 million
            policies were issued under this program. Activity of the fund reflects a declining claim workload. The trend in the number
            and amount of policies in force is shown as follows:

         This fund is operated on a commercial basis to the extent possible. The income of the fund is derived from premium receipts,
            interest on investments, and payments which are made to the fund from the Veterans Insurance and Indemnities appropriation.
         
         Assets of the fund, which are largely invested in special interest-bearing Treasury securities and in policy loans, are expected
            to decrease from an estimated $4,410 million as of September 30, 2016 to $3,742 million as of September 30, 2017. The actuarial
            estimate of policy obligations as of September 30, 2017, totals $3,667 million, leaving a balance of $75 million for contingency
            reserves.

            Insurance Act. The general decline in the activity of the fund is indicated in the following table:

         The fund is operated on a commercial basis to the extent possible. The income of the fund is derived from interest on investments.
            Effective January 1, 1983, premiums were discontinued because reserves held in the fund were adequate to meet future liabilities
            of the program.
         
         Assets of the fund, which are largely invested in interest-bearing securities and policy loans, are estimated to decrease
            from $3.7 million as of September 30, 2016, to $2.4 million as of September 30, 2017, as an increasing number of policies
            mature through death or disability. The actuarial evaluation of policy obligations as of September 30, 2017, totals $2.1 million,
            leaving a balance of $0.3 million for contingency reserves.

         Note.âDepartment of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously
            shown for this account have been discontinued.
         
         This fund finances the payment of claims on life insurance policies issued before January 3, 1957, to veterans who served
            in the Armed Forces subsequent to April 1, 1951. No new policies can be issued. Policyholders may elect to purchase total
            disability income coverage with the payment of additional premiums.
         
         Benefit program:
         
         Death claims.âRepresents payments to designated beneficiaries.
         
         Cash surrenders.âA policyholder may terminate his or her insurance by cashing in the policy for its cash value.
         
         Dividends.âPolicyholders participate in the distribution of annual dividends.
         
         All other.âClassified in this category are payments to policyholders who: (a) hold endowment policies which have matured; (b) have
            purchased total disability income coverage and subsequently become disabled; and (c) are paid interest on dividend credits
            and deposits.

         The mission of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board or BVA), as set forth in 38 U.S.C. Â§ 7101(a) is to conduct hearings and consider and dispose of appeals properly before the Board in a timely manner. The Board's
            goal is to issue quality decisions in compliance with the requirements of the law, including the precedential decisions of
            the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) and other federal courts. The Board makes final decisions on
            behalf of the Secretary on appeals from decisions of the agencies of original jurisdiction with the Department of Veterans
            Affairs (VA) Offices. The Board reviews all appeals for entitlement to Veterans' benefits, including claims for service connection,
            increased disability ratings, total disability ratings, pension, insurance benefits, educational benefits, home loan guaranties,
            vocational rehabilitation, dependency and indemnity compensation, and healthcare delivery.

         The mission of the National Cemetery Administration is to honor veterans with final resting places in national shrines and
            with lasting tributes that commemorate their service to our Nation. The National Cemetery Administration's vision is to serve
            all veterans and their families with the utmost dignity, respect, and compassion. Every national cemetery will be a place
            that inspires visitors to understand and appreciate the service and sacrifice of our Nation's veterans. There are six related
            programs managed by the National Cemetery Administration including: 1) burying eligible veterans and their family members
            in national cemeteries and maintaining the graves and their environs as national shrines; 2) administering grants to States
            and Tribal organizations in establishing, expanding, improving, or operating veterans cemeteries; 3) providing headstones
            and markers for the graves of eligible veterans; 4) providing presidential memorial certificates to family and friends of
            deceased veterans, recognizing the veterans' contribution and service to the Nation; 5) providing graveliners or partial reimbursement
            for a privately purchased outer burial receptacle for each new grave in open national cemeteries administered by the National
            Cemetery Administration; and 6) recording First Notice of Veteran Deaths into VA electronic files to ensure timely termination
            of benefits and next-of-kin notification of possible entitlement to survivor benefits.
         
         The National Cemetery Administration also reflects budget information for the National Cemetery Gift Fund and the National
            Cemetery Administration Facilities Operation Fund. Through the Gift Fund, the Secretary is authorized to accept gifts and
            bequests which are made for the purpose of beautifying national cemeteries or are determined to be beneficial to such cemeteries,
            or are made for the purpose of the operation, maintenance, or improvement of the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. Through
            the Facilities Operation Fund, the Secretary is authorized to lease any undeveloped land and unused or underutilized buildings
            of the National Cemetery Administration, or parts or parcels thereof, for a term not to exceed 10 years. Proceeds from such
            leases are deposited in the Facilities Operation Fund, and are available to cover costs incurred by the National Cemetery
            Administration in the operation and maintenance of property of the Administration.

         Under the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 8121, the Supply Fund is responsible for the operation and maintenance of a supply system
            for VA. In this capacity, it provides policy and oversight to VA's acquisition and logistics programs, and provides best value
            acquisition of goods and services through its National Acquisition Center, Denver Acquisition and Logistics Center, Service
            and Distribution Center, Technology Acquisition Center and Strategic Acquisition Center. Operating as an intra-governmental
            revolving fund without fiscal year limitations, the Supply Fund is financed by revenue from fees on acquisitions of supplies,
            equipment, and services for both VA and other Government agency (OGA) customers.

         The VA Franchise Fund was established under the authority of the Government Management Reform Act of 1994 and the VA and Housing
            and Urban Development and Independent Agencies Act of 1997. VA was selected by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in
            1996 as one of the six executive branch agencies to establish a franchise fund pilot program. Created as a revolving fund,
            the VA Franchise Fund began providing common administrative support services to the VA and other government agencies in 1997
            on a fee-for-service basis. In 2006, under the Military Quality of Life and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, Public Law
            109â114, permanent status was conferred upon the VA Franchise Fund. VA Enterprise Centers are the lines of business within
            the VA Franchise Fund and are expected to have net billings of about $965 million and employ 1,769 in 2017. The Franchise
            Fund concept is intended to increase competition for government administrative services, resulting in lower costs and higher
            quality.
