Shared by Compliance • February 05, 2026

In response to recent changes implemented by VA regarding the Maintenance Assessment Fee increase effective January 1, 2026, for 2025 calendar-year policies, the portal has been updated accordingly.

  • Beginning 1/1/26, the portal will no longer collect the Maintenance Assessment Fee upfront per filing.
  • The Maintenance Assessment Fee will instead be calculated annually at year-end, based on all applicable business written during the calendar year. Additional enhancements are planned for later this year as part of the 2026 Annual Task.
