HR 2818 United States House · 118th Congress

Autonomy for Disabled Veterans Act

This bill increases funding for home modifications for disabled veterans using VA home health services. It raises the maximum annual amount veterans can receive for home improvements from $6,800 to $10,000 and for structural alterations from $2,000 to $5,000. The bill also requires annual adjustments to these amounts based on inflation, using the Consumer Price Index, to maintain their real value over time. These changes apply only to veterans who first apply for these benefits after the bill's enactment date.
