Summary
A National Academies study of cancer prevalence and mortality among fixed‑wing military aircrew. The bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to contract the National Academies to identify flight‑related exposures and measure cancer rates and deaths for people who served as pilots, navigators, weapons systems operators, and other fixed‑wing crew.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
VA pension date extended one month
If enacted, VA would move a pension rule date from November 30, 2031, to December 31, 2031. The change would take effect upon enactment. This is a one‑month timing shift and would not change benefit amounts.
Cancer study for aircrew veterans
If enacted, VA would ask the National Academies to study cancer rates in veterans who flew fixed‑wing aircraft. VA would seek the agreement within 30 days of enactment and finish it within 60 days after talks begin. If VA misses that deadline, it would have to report the reasons and brief Congress every 60 days. The study would review exposures and links to cancers like brain, lung, prostate, melanoma, and others, using VA, DoD, and National Death Index data and a 2021 study. Covered aircrew would include pilots, navigators, weapons systems, and other crew who regularly flew fixed‑wing aircraft. The National Academies would send the results to VA and Congress at the end.
