PROGRAM OF COMPREHENSIVE ASSISTANCE FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS (PCAFC) The Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is expanding to all eras. Expansion rolls out in two


phases beginning with eligible Veterans who served on or before May 7, 1975, and phase two, beginning October 1, 2022, will include eligible Veterans who served between May 7, 1975, and


September 11, 2001. PCAFC, which prior to this expansion was only available for eligible Post-9/11 Veterans who incurred or aggravated a serious injury in the line of duty, provides


resources, education, support, a financial stipend, health insurance, and beneficiary travel to caregivers of eligible Veterans. Veterans with a 70% service-connected disability who served


either on or after September 11, 2001, or on or before May 7, 1975, and are in need of Caregivers Support should contact their local Caregivers Support Coordinator, or visit
