More VA help to avoid scams
If enacted, VA would create a Veterans Scam and Fraud Evasion Officer. The officer would be a single point of contact to guide veterans, families, caregivers, and survivors to fraud help. VA would promote the VSAFE Fraud Hotline and VSAFE.gov and send clear alerts and guidance during fraud incidents. VA would track scam trends, train staff who take reports, and coordinate with the VA Inspector General and other agencies. This would start upon enactment, end September 30, 2030, and would not add new VA full‑time positions.
VA pension limit lasts two months longer
This would change a date in law for VA pensions. It would extend the current limit on certain pension payments through March 31, 2033, instead of January 31, 2033. Veterans who are subject to that limit would face it for two more months. It would take effect upon enactment and would not change who qualifies or how amounts are set.
