How the new Veterans Choice Card works

By The American Legion

How the new Veterans Choice Card works. The Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014, signed into law by President Barack Obama on Aug. 7, is a special $10 billion Veterans Choice Fund. Over the next three years, VA is to use the fund as needed to buy care from non-VA care providers for veterans if they face long waits for VA care – defined initially as more than 30 days – or if they reside more than 40 miles from VA care.
