Veterans apportionment is a type of child and spousal support, received from a portion of a veteran’s reitrement or disability. Prior to February 9, 2026, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) allowed apportionment to be used more broadly. As of February 9, 2026, the VA’s rule regarding how and when apportionment can be utilized will be limited to the following specific situations:
- VA veteran or surviving spouse is incarcerated, or
- An incompetent veteran without a fiduciary is institutionalized at government expense.
If you currently have an existing apportionment, it will remain in place and will not be discontinued.
