## Summary

**Stops retroactive VA copayment bills when veterans did not get timely notice or when their total copayments exceed a set limit.** The bill would also let the VA Secretary waive copayments in appropriate cases and ties the dollar limit to inflation through the Consumer Price Index (CPI). - Veterans: Would not have to pay copayments for hospital care or medical services if the VA failed to provide timely notice within a 2-year window after the care or if the veteran's total copayments exceed $2,000. The $2,000 threshold is adjusted annually by the CPI. - VA administration and patients: Requires the Secretary to track and meet notice timeliness standards and gives the Secretary authority to waive copayments without requiring a veteran to request a waiver. - Pension recipients: Moves a pension-related payment limit date forward to February 29, 2032, an extension described in the text as one year.
