TEAM Veteran Caregivers Act

This legislation directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to formally recognize all caregivers of veterans by identifying them within the veteran's health record. This recognition applies to caregivers participating in both the comprehensive assistance program for family caregivers and the program of support services for caregivers. The bill also requires the Secretary to use a standardized letter to notify veterans and caregivers about any clinical determinations affecting their eligibility for, or participation in, a caregiver program. These notifications must include specific elements to ensure transparency, covering decisions related to claims, tier reductions, or termination of assistance. A key provision mandates a temporary extension of benefits for at least 90 days for veterans who are determined to be no longer clinically eligible for the comprehensive assistance family caregiver program. This extension, which includes stipends, begins after the notification of ineligibility, though it does not apply in cases of fraud, abuse, neglect, or if a new caregiver is designated, among other specific exclusions.
