Bill > HR2245

This bill, called the "Autonomy for Disabled Veterans Act", increases the amount of money the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can provide to disabled veterans for home improvements and structural alterations. Currently, veterans can receive up to $6,800 for improvements to their primary residence and up to $2,000 for improvements to a residence they do not own. The bill raises these limits to $10,000 and $5,000 respectively. Additionally, the bill requires the VA to adjust these dollar amounts annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for goods and services. This means the monetary limits will increase each year to keep pace with inflation. The changes will only apply to veterans who apply for these benefits after the bill's enactment, and veterans who have already exhausted their previous benefits will not be eligible for additional funds under the new limits.
