HR 9468 United States House · 118th Congress

Veterans Benefits Continuity and Accountability Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024

This bill provides $2.29 billion for veterans' compensation and pensions and $597 million for readjustment benefits to address funding shortfalls. It requires the VA Secretary to submit reports on budget forecasting improvements and to regularly update Congress on fund usage through 2026. The bill mandates an Inspector General review of the causes behind the 2024 Veterans Benefits Administration funding shortfall and the expected 2025 Veterans Health Administration shortfall. These provisions focus on improving financial accountability and preventing future funding gaps for veterans' programs. The bill is focused on funding and oversight rather than changing benefit eligibility or amounts.
