S 892 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Veteran Fraud Reimbursement Act of 2025

This bill (S 892) amends Section 6107 of Title 38, U.S. Code, to improve how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) handles misused benefits. It requires the VA to reissue misused benefits to veterans (or their successor guardians) when a guardian (fiduciary) improperly uses their payments, and to make good-faith efforts to recover those funds from the misusing guardian. If a veteran dies before receiving reissued benefits, the VA must pay the amount to the appropriate beneficiary under existing law, but not to the misusing guardian. The law ensures veterans directly affected by fiduciary misuse receive the full amount misused, with no additional payment beyond the original misused benefit.
