SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 5, 2021, the Act, Public
Law 116–315, was passed into law.
Among other things, this legislation (per
section 3004(a)–(c)) changed or added
statutory definitions for ‘‘state home’’
and ‘‘state’’ with regard to VA’s State
Veterans Home Construction Grant and
State Home Per Diem Programs
(hereinafter combinedly referred to as
‘‘State Veterans Home Programs’’) to
include Indian tribes (as defined in 25
U.S.C. 5304). Per section 3004(d)(1) of
the Act, not later than 180 days after the
date of enactment of the Act, VA must
consult with Indian tribes to determine
if any legislative or administrative
action is necessary to modify the State
Veterans Home Programs to function
efficiently in support of state homes
operated by Indian tribes pursuant to
the amendments made by section 3004.
Per section 3004(d)(2) of the Act, not
later than 90 days after completing these
consultations, VA must also submit to
the appropriate committees of Congress
a report recommending legislative
action that VA considers appropriate to
modify the State Veterans Home
Programs in light of those consultations.
Per section 3004(d)(3), not later than
180 days after completing these
consultations, VA must also make any
modifications to regulations
implementing the State Veterans Home
Programs, for which legislative action is
not necessary, as VA considers
appropriate in light of those
consultations. Therefore, in accordance
with section 3004(d)(1), and prior to
submitting a report to Congress and
making any modifications to
regulations, VA seeks consultation with
American Indian and Alaska Native
tribes.

Pursuant to section 1741 through
1745 of title 38, United States Code, VA
provides per diem payments to states for
eligible Veterans receiving domiciliary
or nursing care in a state home. This is
referred to as the State Home Per Diem
Program, and VA has implemented this
program through regulations in Part 51
of title 38, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR). Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8131
through 8138, VA provides funding to
assist states to construct state home
facilities (or to acquire facilities that are
to be used as state homes facilities) for
furnishing domiciliary or nursing home
care to Veterans, and to expand,
remodel or alter existing buildings for
furnishing domiciliary, nursing home or
adult day health care to Veterans in
state homes. This program is referred to
as the State Veterans Home
Construction Grant Program and was
implemented by VA through 38 CFR
part 59.
While, historically, these two
programs have been available only to
states, section 3004 of the Act amended
this by revising the definitions of state
home in 38 U.S.C. 101(19) and state in
38 U.S.C. 8131(2) to include Indian
tribes (as defined in 25 U.S.C. 5304),
and adding a definition for state in 38
U.S.C. 1741 to include Indian tribes (as
defined in 25 U.S.C. 5304). These
changes allow American Indian and
Alaska Native tribes to apply for the
State Veterans Home Programs. As
previously mentioned, section 3004 of
the Act requires VA to consult with
American Indian and Alaska Native
tribes to determine if any legislative or
administrative action is necessary to
modify the State Veterans Home
Programs to function efficiently in
support of state homes operated by
American Indian and Alaska Native
tribes pursuant to the amendments
made by section 3004. Per section 3004
of the Act, after completion of such
consultations, VA will submit a report
to Congress recommending legislative
action to modify the State Veterans
Home Programs and will make
modifications to regulations
implementing the State Veterans Home
programs as necessary.
Through this tribal consultation, VA
will ensure that the needs of the
American Indian and Alaska Native
Veterans and the priorities of tribal
governments are taken into
consideration as part of any changes VA
makes to the State Veterans Home
Programs, now and in the future. Such
changes have the potential to increase
American Indian and Alaska Native
Veterans’ access to health care
(specifically, nursing home, domiciliary
and adult day health care). The Veterans
