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 embers-and-spouses%2F/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/N68bZmOJJBGpX8ePwlp2ahV432-H8JM7jeWCWYwpQqE=393> of 2025. These decreased premiums apply to those 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. <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USVHAVISN20/2024/01/8765206/5240574/visn20mirecc_crop.png> ➤ NewsFlash <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2Findex.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/E0hVPnDuWYHciVHGvdzwZmTV Hb8zCerm6QqIiw13pek=393> ➤ Resources <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2Fresources.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/5PYTilv3fsssIfGONiIA 6AKqXWygA1gnb9aiylWihLc=393> ➢ Adaptive Sports <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2FAdaptiveSports.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/nJPuGNk KqQvLox7myXkxEaFQEqtQ4wNj8aP9p3wyLeU=393> ➢ Financial Readiness <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2FFinancialReadiness.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000 /CfNc4oi0Uv-rY2oUfJBwIclF6yuNpnCmfZGOQpWeXDw=393> ➢ Service Dogs <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2FServiceDogs.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/15G4P0UJEpZBH 1_XB0MTl1JFM4GeumvwtJPRuZjRxF8=393> ➢ Transition Assistance <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2FTransitionAssistance.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-00 0000/HP9BISkqEOUy9rhVXZsQzzOuRN2DZD6wAssZcbl0f_I=393> ➢ Warrior Care <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2FWarriorCare.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/Xn0jf9ZCe1rd4 HYi0NWi5VSvlIxJul-gewHZMKB348U=393> ➤ Brochures <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2Fbrochures.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/o8XkYZfhpJON_aXvYtsN 8YmHr38uRrKH54IkUZ6c9YU=393> ➤ Digital Media <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FNewsflash%2FDigitalMedia.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/ycojpNf-lBeGC AcL5Wj0wMyqSEFj-pECIfJXeDsdWtA=393> FORWARD MARCH: Veterans Affairs Life Insurance (VALife) <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.va.gov%2Flife-insurance%2Foptions-eligibility%2Fvalife%2F/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130 -40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/n3nWoSQw1c2xWdXh1VsP8Yq1lyhgsaXHcO3i_6U5RV4=393> for Veterans with service-connected disabilities began accepting applications on January 1, 2023. <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.va.gov%2Flife-insurance%2F/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/zeoT7kwj2H5dXkQKsIMwhkDoLmUG1SctgHw8Med0hqI=393> VETERANS: Approximately 450,000 VGLI members will see their premium rates discounted between 2% to 17%, depending on the Veteran’s age, with an average discount of 11%.

VA ranks as one of the nation's leaders in health research. University of Washington (UW) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) are academic affiliates of NW MIRECC. The mission of NW MIRECC is to improve the quality of life and function of Veterans by developing, evaluating, and promoting the implementation of effective treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its complex comorbidities. PTSD comorbidities include the behavioral consequences of repetitive blast mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), chronic pain (in particular, post-concussive headaches), cognitive impairment, and increased risk for neurodegenerative disorders (chronic traumatic encephalopathy [CTE] and Alzheimer’s disease [AD]). <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FAbout_NWMIRECC%2Fcontact-us.asp/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/GOYUs67nFqkQjAyr5Suhm_VmP xKuBDOSQf0fzsYOTHs=393> 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. <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FAbout_NWMIRECC%2Fcontact-us.asp/2/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/MKYLQ2YbNiKdqsLHGhK_PMjhf _RD_vWBWz4-nPzqH78=393> Research studies at NW MIRECC are currently enrolling Military Veterans, First Responders, Health Care workers, and Civilians in Seattle, Washington <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fg cc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl=https%253A%252F%252Flinks-1.govdelivery.com%252FCL0%252Fhttps%253A%25252F%25252Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%25252Fvisn20%25252Fresearch%25252Fptsd-tbi-research.as p%252F1%252F01000194b0cb14ca-ac446921-8aa6-4ef1-b529-d0324b9dc2cb-000000%252F61ZqhBU8mNfLUahonm_JkBBUKvC65z7PGuBwsvNcMd8%253D390%26data=05%257C02%257C%257C8f0c3bb6a4bc45de764f08dd402ff634%257Ce95f1b2 3abaf45ee821db7ab251ab3bf%257C0%257C0%257C638737296918060739%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%25 7C%257C%26sdata=L6VHetJD9QCgTyX4RdNWo27PpxnDG7mRtmHCtfHSK6A%253D%26reserved=0/1/01000195244dfae4-b6ef28e0-a130-40f6-9e0c-7bf67547d447-000000/uyMt3QyWF4FLjYTmRTvpN3Omrq2TL40EfuaHSdzBz24=393> . 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.
