What to know about VALife in 2025
* If you apply for VALife by December 31, 2025, you can keep your S-DVI during the 2-year waiting period for VALife benefits. Your S-DVI (including policies with premium waivers) will
end when your full VALife coverage starts. You must pay premiums for both policies during the 2-year waiting period.
* If you apply for VALife on or after January 1, 2026, your S-DVI (including policies with premium waivers) will end the day we approve your VALife application. You’ll need to pay only
VALife premiums during the 2-year waiting period. But you won’t have full coverage during this time.
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced that more than 3 million Veterans, Service members, and spouses who receive life insurance from VA’s programs will receive
a discount on premiums starting in the spring <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fnews.va.gov%2Fpress-room%2Fva-lowers-life-insurance-premiums-for-more-than-3-million-veterans-service-m

insured under Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI), Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) and Family Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (FSGLI) — and to those who enroll in
those programs in the future.

VA MIRECC's provide for the improvement of the provision of health-care services and related counseling services to eligible veterans suffering from mental illness (especially mental
illness related to service-related conditions) through—
* the conduct of research (including research on improving mental health service facilities of the Department and on improving the delivery of mental health services by the Department);
* the education and training of health care personnel of the Department; and
* the development of improved models and systems for the furnishing of mental health services by the Department.
As part of the VISN 20 NW MIRECC mission to enhance access to mental health expertise, the NW MIRECC collaborates and consults with other MIRECCs and Centers of Excellence, as well as
with other VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Federal, State departments of Veterans Affairs, community agencies, and experts. The close geographic proximity (40 miles) of DoD Joint Base
Lewis-McChord/Madigan Army Medical Center to VAPSHCS has provided an exciting opportunity to develop innovative and productive research, education, and clinical care collaborations
with DoD personnel that address PTSD and its associated conditions in their early stages in active-duty Servicemembers.

. NW MIRECC research studies significantly contribute to advancements in our understanding of medical problems that lead to health improvements for Veterans and civilians alike. NW
MIRECC studies are conducted through clinical research and through translational research wherein teams of clinicians and scientists work side-by-side to characterize and model key
features of clinical problems and then translate the findings from scientific theory or animal models into practical applications for Veterans. NW MIRECC brings together complementary
research, education, and clinical programs from VAPSHCS and VAPORHCS. The collaborative approach to mental health research, education and treatment has had a profound impact on the
lives of Veterans.
