The Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall modify the areas in which veterans reside as specified for purposes of determining whether veterans qualify for treatment as low-income families for enrollment in the patient enrollment system of the Department of Veterans Affairs under section 1705(a)(7) of title 38, United States Code, to meet the requirements as follows: Any area so specified shall be within only one State. Any area so specified shall be co-extensive with one or more counties (or similar political subdivisions) in the State concerned.
The Secretary shall modify the thresholds for income as specified for purposes of determining whether veterans qualify for treatment as low-income families for enrollment in the patient enrollment system referred to in subsection
(a)to meet the requirements as follows: There shall be one income threshold for each State, equal to the highest income threshold among the counties within such State. The calculation of the highest income threshold of a county shall be consistent with the calculation used for purposes of section 3(b) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 ( 42 U.S.C. 1437a(b) ). The timing and methodology for implementing any modifications in geographic income thresholds pursuant to paragraph
(1)shall be determined by the Secretary in such a manner as to permit the Department to build capacity for enrolling such additional veterans in the patient enrollment system of the Department as become eligible for enrollment as a result of such modifications, except that all required modifications shall be completed not later than five years after date of the enactment of this Act.
