Reimburse Veterans for Domiciliary Care Act

The Reimburse Veterans for Domiciliary Care Act requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to create a rule enabling retroactive payments to State homes that provide domiciliary care to veterans, starting January 5, 2021. The VA must publish a proposed rule within 90 days of the bill’s enactment and finalize it within 180 days of the proposed rule (or by 260 days after enactment, whichever occurs first). This rule change allows State homes to receive reimbursement for care provided to veterans during the retroactive period. The bill directly affects VA administrative procedures and State homes operating domiciliary care facilities for veterans.
