Waive Consideration of HR 2148 Letter (Facebook Post)

Letter Asking the Committee on Ways and Means to Waive HR 2148

For more than a decade, family caregivers participating in the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) have provided life-sustaining care to some of our nation’s most seriously wounded, ill, and injured veterans. Many of these caregivers leave the workforce entirely to provide full-time support at home, often saving the VA and taxpayers millions of dollars by reducing the need for institutional or long-term care.

PCAFC Extension Work Group Letter to Secretary of the VA

Quality of Life Foundation leads the PCAFC work group of organizations.  Within that PCAFC work group, a smaller group of organizations met with VA leadership in March 2025 to request the Legacy extension.  Today, Quality of Life Foundation and six other PCAFC work group member organizations sent the letter below to Secretary Collins, asking to reassure the Legacy community that the PCAFC extension will be finalized by September 30, 2025.  Additionally, we expressed our concern about the continual harm being done by the VA delaying the full final regulation governing PCAFC.

VA caregiver program needs total overhaul as problems mount, advocates say

From Our Community Nationwide

As a county veteran service officer, the Quality Of Life Foundation provides expertise in all areas of the VA caregiver program, offering education for our team, and providing support for the veteran families that we serve.  The QoLF team provides personalized education, support and advocacy that cannot be found anywhere else.

Veteran Service Officer

“Andrea's testimony... brought me to tears to hear those words said out loud, THANK YOU. What it means to me is beyond words that I can express.”

Caregiver of a Wounded Veteran

To have QoLF take the lead and connect us to the PCAFC Administrator DIRECTLY so we could share our concerns, experiences, solutions and to feel “heard.”  Many positive results came out of those meetings which would have not happened without the advocacy and leadership of QoLF.

Caregiver of a Wounded Veteran

"I’d love to have you involved with all my clients/families – but that’s being selfish. I appreciate what you do!"
