HB 1102 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to compensation for services rendered in veterans benefits matters

HB 1102 regulates fee-charging advisors who assist veterans with benefits claims. It prohibits charging for referrals, guaranteeing outcomes, or using medical professionals from employment relationships. Advisors must provide written agreements detailing contingency fees (capped at five times the monthly benefit increase), include specific disclaimers about not being affiliated with the VA or Missouri Veterans Commission, and avoid using international call centers for personal data. The bill directly affects private advisors seeking compensation for veterans' benefits services, aiming to prevent deceptive practices and protect veterans. It does not change benefit eligibility or amounts but sets clear rules for service providers.
