“Section 121 (developing and administering an education program that teaches veterans about their health care options available from the Department of Veterans Affairs).”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    Nothing in the window establishes or re-launches the VA MISSION Act sec. 121 education program on veterans’ health-care options. VA’s community-care communications in this period are operational announcements (yearlong authorizations, faster scheduling, new contracts) and a 2026 enrolment-outreach push aimed at unenrolled veterans, not the standing education program sec. 121 requires. No Secretarial directive, rule, notice or budget line naming it was found.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes

Negative search, 2026-09-01:

  • Federal Register API, exact phrases "Education program on health care options" and "health care options", all types, from 2025-01-20 — zero documents for both.
  • Corpus grep health care options across every Federal Register file, presidential actions, bills and public laws — two hits, both the unrelated “Expanding Health Care Options for First Responders Act”.
  • news.va.gov press-release search: education program, MISSION Act, community care — nothing establishing an education program.
  • Section number confirmed against the VA MISSION Act table of contents at govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-115publ182: sec. 121, “Education program on health care options”.
