Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Bacon, Don [R-NE-2]
In Committee
Summary
Increases VA payments for home adaptations and ties them to annual inflation. The bill would raise two dollar caps for structural alterations provided as part of home health services and require yearly adjustments using the CPI-U so amounts keep pace with inflation.
Show full summary
- Veterans needing home adaptations: Veterans who first apply after enactment would see higher limits for VA-funded home improvements. One cap rises from $6,800 to $10,000 and the other rises from $2,000 to $5,000.
- Veterans with prior exhausted benefits: Veterans who exhausted eligibility under the same paragraph before enactment would not become eligible for additional payments solely because of these changes.
- Department of Veterans Affairs operations: The Secretary would increase the dollar amounts each year by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). If CPI-U does not increase over the 12-month period used, the amounts would remain unchanged for that fiscal year.
