## Provisions PRIA read

- VA pension date extended one month: benefit, low. 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: benefit, low. 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…
