Reimburse Veterans for Domiciliary Care Act
This bill requires the VA Secretary to issue new rules within 90 days of enactment, clarifying how state homes can receive reimbursement for domiciliary care provided to veterans. It directly affects veterans who received care at state homes since January 5, 2021, and the state homes themselves. The rules must waive payment limitations and include retroactive payments starting from that date. The bill implements a specific provision from the 2020 Veterans Health Care Act through administrative rulemaking, without creating new benefits.
