Veterans Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024

This bill provides supplemental funding to address a shortfall in the Department of Veterans Affairs' 2024 budget. It appropriates $2.285 billion for veterans' compensation and pensions and $596.969 million for readjustment benefits (such as education and housing assistance), both to remain available until spent. The bill also requires the GAO to review the funding shortfall causes, the Office of Management and Budget to revise the 2025 VA budget, and the VA Secretary to report on potential cost savings within VA's Central Office. As a procedural funding measure, it does not create new policies but ensures existing benefits can be delivered.
