DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

38 CFR Part 3

RIN 2900-AM28


Accrued Benefits; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a minor correction to the final 
regulations that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published in 
71 FR 78368 on December 29, 2006. The regulation relates to the Payment 
of Benefits to Survivors of Estates of Deceased Beneficiaries. No 
substantive change to the content of the regulation is being made by 
correcting this amendment.

DATES: Effective Date: October 17, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denise Kemp-Nichols, Regulations Staff 
(211D), Compensation and Pension Service, Veterans Benefits 
Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-9724.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA published a final rule in the Federal 
Register on December 29, 2006 (See 71 FR 78368) revising its final rule 
eliminating the 2-year limitation on accrued benefits. In that 
document, VA failed to amend 38 CFR 3.816(f)(2). This document corrects 
that error by removing the entire first sentence of 38 CFR 3.816(f)(2) 
and in the second sentence, by removing the word ``also'' after words 
``accrued benefits.''

List of Subjects in 38 CFR Part 3
