If enacted, the bill would require the VA to look for and report fraud in disability benefit questionnaire (DBQ) forms no matter who sent them. The VA would create a way for claims processors to report suspected fraud, run regular audits of DBQs, and tell anyone who submitted a DBQ or claim if the VA suspects fraud. The VA Office of Inspector General would be allowed to use any inspector-general authorities it needs for those investigations. The VA generally could not reopen a final benefits decision just because the OIG investigated, unless someone is later convicted in court for fraud. The VA would send Congress a yearly report about these steps.

HR7481 — Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026
DHS funding with strict oversight. This bill would set FY2026 funding levels across the Department of Homeland Security and attach detailed reporting, transfer limits, and program rules to many accounts.
HR3971 — Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act
Extending workplace rights to domestic workers. The bill would set enforceable labor standards for household workers, add overtime and live‑in protections, require written agreements, create a Domestic Employee Standards Board, and push Medicaid rules to cover home care workers.
HR3069 — Medicare for All Act
This bill would create a national health insurance program called "Medicare for All" to provide universal, comprehensive health coverage for every U.S. resident. It sets the benefit package, bans cost‑sharing for covered care, negotiates drug and device prices, and phases existing federal coverage into the new system during a multi‑year transition. - Families and children: Covers maternity care, pediatric services, mental health, prescription drugs, dental, vision, and more with no out‑of‑pocket costs for covered items. Children under 19 become eligible one year after enactment. - Older adults and people with disabilities: Establishes an entitlement to medically necessary long‑term services and supports in home and community settings, prioritizes independence and supports activities of daily living, and removes the 24‑month Medicare waiting period for people with disabilities. - Providers and the health system: Creates regional offices, pays institutional providers with negotiated quarterly global budgets and individual clinicians via a national fee schedule, restricts private contracting for covered services for two years, and gives the Secretary authority to negotiate prices and, if needed, license manufacture of drugs.
HR7853 — PrEP Access and Coverage Act of 2026
Protects and expands access to HIV prevention by banning insurance discrimination for people who take PrEP or PEP and by funding education, grants, and stronger privacy rules. This bill pairs nondiscrimination rules with outreach, a grant program, and data and enforcement steps to boost use of PrEP and PEP in high‑need communities. - People at risk and uninsured: Establishes an HHS grant program for states, territories, tribes, and community providers to cover FDA‑approved PrEP/PEP drugs, labs, clinical follow‑up, outreach, and adherence support. Grants prioritize areas with large uninsured or underinsured populations and are authorized for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. - Families and policyholders: Makes it unlawful for life, disability, and long‑term care insurers to deny, limit, or raise rates because someone uses PrEP or PEP. It also directs HHS to change HIPAA rules so family plan members can use PrEP/PEP without other enrollees or the policyholder being notified. - Providers and public health system: Directs HHS, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to run public and provider education campaigns focused on high‑need communities and to evaluate effectiveness. Insurers must begin submitting compliance and claims data one year after enactment and federal agencies will report noncompliance to Congress every two years for ten years.
HRES1058 — Recognizing that it is the duty of the Federal Government to develop and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights to protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.
A federal "Transgender Bill of Rights" to codify and protect the rights of transgender and nonbinary people. It aims to lock in access to medical care, legal identity, housing, employment, and safety across federal laws and programs. - Families and youth gain protections for gender-affirming care and against harmful practices. The resolution would prohibit health-care discrimination, remove unnecessary government limits on care, protect supportive parents, ban conversion practices, and push for more trained providers and telehealth access. - Workers, renters, and borrowers would see clearer federal civil-rights coverage. It calls for amending Title VII, the Fair Housing Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to bar discrimination based on gender identity and sex characteristics. - Legal identity, military service, and safety measures would be eased. The resolution directs simpler federal document changes including self-attestation and an "X" marker, requires TRICARE and the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover gender-affirming care, improves detention and asylum protections, and creates a Justice Department liaison plus funding for enforcement. It also asks federal surveys to collect voluntary gender identity data and centers transgender-led policy input. The resolution directs agencies to rewrite rules and expand enforcement to protect transgender and nonbinary people across health, civil rights, and public safety.
HR5862 — American Energy Independence and Affordability Act
This bill would restore and extend energy tax credits and cost-recovery rules to keep incentives for wind, solar, clean fuels, efficiency upgrades, and clean vehicles available for a longer period. It rewrites timing and eligibility for many existing credits so they apply again or last longer. - Homeowners would keep the residential clean energy tax credit and see a top credit of 30% for qualifying installations. - Wind and solar developers would regain eligibility for key production and investment credits and face a later phaseout tied to a 25% emissions threshold or the year 2032. - Buyers of clean cars and commercial fleets would get extended access to vehicle and refueling credits, with phased increases that reach full value after 2028 and many vehicle credits extended through 2032. - Manufacturers and clean-tech projects would benefit from reinstated advanced manufacturing and production credits and restored cost-recovery rules for energy property. - Sustainable aviation fuel producers would receive per-gallon credits of 35 cents for one category and $1.75 for another, with ASTM-based definitions and some feedstock exclusions.
