The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced on Monday that it will expand its coverage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) services to include veterans who are single or in same-sex marriages. This decision comes after criticism of the agency's lack of reproductive benefits for some veterans. Previously, the VA only provided IVF care to veterans who were legally married and could biologically produce their sperm and eggs.
The expansion of care has long been a priority for the VA, and this move aims to provide more inclusive reproductive assistance for veterans
