| Veterans will be enrolled to the extent Congressional appropriations allow. If appropriations are limited, enrollment will occur based on the following priority: |
| 1. Veterans with service-connected conditions rated 50 percent or more disabling. |
| 2. Veterans with service-connected conditions who are rated 30 or 40 percent disabling. |
| 3. Veterans who are former POWs, veterans discharged from active duty for compensable conditions and veterans awarded special eligibility classification. |
| 4. Veterans who are receiving aid and attendance or housebound benefits and veterans who have been determined by VA to be catastrophically disabled. |
| 5. Nonservice-connected veterans and service-connected veterans rated zero percent disabled, whose income and net worth are below the established thresholds. |
| 6. All other eligible veterans who are not required to make copayments for their treatment. This includes World War I and Mexican Border War veterans, veterans receiving care for exposure to toxic substances or environmental hazards while in service and compensable zero percent service-connected veterans. |
| 7. Nonservice-connected veterans and noncompensable zero percent service-connected veterans with income and net worth above the statutory threshold who agree to pay copayments. |
| Veterans will remain enrolled for one year, after which enrollment will be reviewed and renewed depending upon resources available to VA. Veterans who are not renewed will be notified in writing. |
