VA Insurance Improvement Act
HR 9056, the VA Insurance Improvement Act, updates veterans' life insurance eligibility and benefits. It removes the requirement that applicants must have a service-connected disability to qualify for veterans' life insurance and raises the age limit for applying from 80 to 81 years. The bill also clarifies how the VA reimburses administrative costs for mortgage life insurance from the Veterans Insurance fund and adds Space Force members to the eligibility list for Traumatic Service-Connected Disability Insurance (TSGLI). These changes directly affect active and retired veterans seeking life insurance benefits or TSGLI coverage.
