HRES 1460: Acknowledging the courage and sacrifice of veterans of the Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans.

This House resolution formally acknowledges the courage and sacrifice of veterans who served in the Korean War and those who have continued to serve in South Korea as Korean Defense Veterans. It highlights that nearly 1.8 million U.S. service members participated in the conflict, which resulted in over 36,000 American deaths, and notes that approximately 25,000 troops remain stationed in the region today. The text emphasizes that these veterans often returned home without the widespread recognition given to World War II heroes and urges all Americans to honor their service in defending democracy.

HR 10160: Vet CENTERS for Mental Health Act of 2026

The Vet CENTERS for Mental Health Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to ensure that every state meets a specific minimum number of mental health treatment centers within one year of enactment. For states in the contiguous United States, this minimum is calculated as the greater of one center per 30,000 square miles of land or one center per 55,000 veterans based on census data. Non-contiguous states and territories must maintain at least one center or match their existing count from January 1, 2020, whichever is higher. To achieve these targets, the Secretary may open new facilities using buildings provided by state, local, or tribal governments, and can establish outstations in place of full centers if multiple additional sites are needed in a single state.

HR 10168: Veterans Housing Opportunity Act

The Veterans Housing Opportunity Act establishes a five-year pilot program that allows the Department of Housing and Urban Development to identify public housing agencies that are not effectively using their HUD-VASH vouchers. If an agency is found to be chronically underutilizing these funds, the department may take back the unused voucher assistance and redistribute it to other agencies. These reallocated vouchers must then be provided to veterans who are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The bill requires the department to report on the program's efficiency and housing outcomes after three years, while ensuring that any veteran who receives a voucher under this pilot keeps it even if the pilot program ends.

HR 10212: PEPTIDES for Veterans Act

The PEPTIDES for Veterans Act directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to review existing federal regulations regarding peptides and submit a report within 180 days that establishes specific definitions for peptides and peptide-based therapies. Following this initial review, the Department must conduct an 18-month study on the safety and efficacy of these treatments for veterans, focusing on conditions such as chronic pain, mental health, and rehabilitation needs. If the study concludes that these therapies should be made available, the Secretary is required to launch a pilot program lasting up to five years to evaluate their effectiveness in real-world clinical settings. The bill ultimately aims to determine whether peptide-based therapies can be integrated into standard care for veterans based on the findings from the mandated research and pilot evaluation.

S 5266: Veterans’ Earned Benefits Access Act of 2026

The Veterans’ Earned Benefits Access Act of 2026 allows the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to recover separation, severance, and readjustment pay from service members who are receiving veterans' disability compensation. To manage this recovery, the bill authorizes deductions from monthly disability payments, with regulations ensuring that no more than 25 percent of a member's compensation is withheld in any given month. The legislation also establishes a process for service members to apply for a waiver if these deductions would cause them financial hardship. These provisions will take effect once final regulations are published and will apply to disability compensation paid on or after that date.
