Protects home care for veterans by stopping cuts to reimbursement rates and requiring reports on care access.
This bill would protect home care for veterans by stopping the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from cutting payments for services like home health aides. It would also require the VA to report on how well veterans can access this care and how they decide on payment rates.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can reduce reimbursement rates for home and community-based services without specific reporting to Congress. After this bill, the VA would have to reinstate any cuts made to Homemaker and Home Health Aide program rates after December 31, 2025. It would also need to notify Congress 90 days before any future rate reductions below that level.
