VA reopens ID card applications after a two-month pause

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs is once again accepting applications for new Veteran ID cards after a series of technical problems that forced a two-month halt to the program.

But they still aren’t sure what the cards will look like.

VA officials are now promising recipients will begin receiving the new cards in March, two months after the original delivery goal and more than 30 months after Congress passed legislation creating the cards.
