AI Summary
This bill, the Helping Veterans Save for Health Care Act of 2015, amends the Internal Revenue Code to ensure that veterans receiving hospital care or medical services for a service-connected disability, meaning a disability incurred during military service, are not disqualified from participating in or contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA). HSAs are tax-advantaged savings accounts designed to help individuals pay for qualified medical expenses. Previously, receiving certain medical care could disqualify individuals from contributing to these accounts, but this bill creates a special rule to prevent veterans from losing this benefit due to receiving care for disabilities related to their military service through programs administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
