Passed House
Repositions the Office of Survivors Assistance into the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill amends 38 U.S.C. §321(a) by replacing the phrase "in the Department" with "in the Office of the Secretary," moving the office out of the Pension and Fiduciary Service within the Veterans Benefits Administration. This change is an organizational realignment focused on the office's placement within VA.

HR9237, Take Care of America’s Veterans Act
Expands veterans' benefits and modernizes VA care, claims adjudication, and oversight. The bill adds concurrent receipt for certain chapter 61 retirees, remakes appeals and Board rules, funds health programs and research, and requires many pilots and IT upgrades. - Veterans and families: Allows some chapter 61 retirees to receive military retired pay and VA disability pay at the same time and creates new supports like prosthetics coverage, bowel and bladder care stipends, service dog grants, expanded caregiver assistance, and education benefit tweaks. - Claims, appeals, and VA operations: Forces aggregation of related appeals with FFRDC guidance, creates a Board quality and training program, mandates automation plans for claims processing, and builds special protections and a public dashboard for military sexual trauma claims. - Health care, community partners, and research: Funds short‑term mTBI research grants, expands Veterans Community Care Program rules and telehealth, authorizes traveling physicians for territories and Freely Associated States, and provides major IT and construction funding including $500 million for IT and a $1.18 billion Manchester facility. Authorizes or appropriates at least $2.4 billion in specified spending, including $500 million for IT and $1.2 billion for a Manchester facility, increasing federal outlays over coming years.
HR3151, SHIPS for America Act of 2025
Rebuild U.S. commercial shipbuilding and a U.S.-flag strategic fleet by pairing new tax credits, grants, and operating payments with stronger cargo-preference rules and workforce and innovation programs to restore domestic capacity and sealift readiness. It centralizes maritime strategy in a White House advisor and a Maritime Security Board and funds a broad set of industrial, port, and training programs to favor U.S.-built, U.S.-crewed vessels.
HR1229, United States-Israel Defense Partnership Act of 2025
Would deepen U.S.-Israel defense cooperation by creating new joint programs, offices, and multi-year funding to develop and deploy counter-unmanned systems and other emerging defense technologies. - U.S. military and Department of Defense: Creates a United States–Israel Counter-Unmanned Systems Program and a program office, authorizes $150 million per year for 2026–2030, and requires annual unclassified reports. - U.S. and Israeli defense industries and tech firms: Authorizes joint research, testing, and procurement across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum, and automation with $50 million per year for 2026–2030 and a framework for cost sharing and intellectual property. - Regional partners and missile defense planners: Requires an assessment of integrated air and missile defense in the U.S. Central Command area with an unclassified report in 180 days and extends the War Reserves Stockpile Authority beyond January 1, 2029. Would authorize $150 million per year for counter-unmanned systems and $50 million per year for emerging technology cooperation from 2026–2030, and raises funding caps for anti-tunnel and counter-UAS programs through 2028.
HR8029, Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act
DHS funding anchors this FY2026 package by setting detailed dollar levels for DHS components while adding tight acquisition rules, reporting deadlines, and program restrictions to shape how homeland security money is spent and overseen. - Disaster-affected households and communities get faster and more transparent FEMA help because grant applications and decisions must meet new deadlines, grants must run 3–5 years, and FEMA must publish an interactive reimbursement dashboard. Administrative costs for FEMA grants are capped at 5 percent. - DHS employees and contractors face new limits and reporting rules. Major pay or classification changes need 30-day congressional notice. Travel and conferences face a 50-person cap and a $500,000 total cost cap per event. - States, localities, and cyber partners gain more federal threat-sharing. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency can buy threat feeds and has about $2.2 billion for operations to support federal and nonfederal entities.
HR833, Educational Choice for Children Act of 2025
Federal tax credits for donations to scholarship organizations would create matching tax incentives for individuals and corporations to fund K–12 scholarships. The bill targets households up to 300% of area median income, sets a $10 billion annual volume cap, and would exclude those scholarship amounts from gross income.
HR6766, Essential Caregivers Act of 2025
Guarantee essential caregivers' uninterrupted access to Medicare and Medicaid nursing facilities, including during emergency visitation restrictions. This bill would let residents name a trusted caregiver, limit when facilities can block visits, and set a fast appeals and penalty process. - Residents and families: Residents could designate or change an essential caregiver at any time, and a representative can designate one if the resident lacks capacity. At least one designated essential caregiver must be allowed daily during emergency restrictions; initial denials are capped at 7 days with a possible state-approved extension to 14 days. - Caregivers: Designated caregivers must sign and follow written facility safety protocols that cannot be stricter than rules for staff. Facilities must rely on those written protocols when claiming a caregiver violated terms, and the facility bears the burden if it argues a violation during an appeal. - Facilities and state oversight: State survey agencies must accept appeals quickly, start investigations within 2 business days, and decide within 48 hours of starting the probe. Agencies can order immediate access, require a corrective action plan within 7 days, and impose civil money penalties up to $5,000 if facilities fail to comply.
Surfaced from PRIA's policy knowledge graph, ranked by signal strength, connected by evidence.
Would block federal eminent domain for most agricultural land when a feasible alternative exists, defines covered land, and excludes tiny low‑income parcels.
