Bipartisan Bill Proposes Automatic Yearly Pay Raises for Disabled Veterans and Their Families
Stalled
No legislative action in over 90 days.
This bill would guarantee that veterans with service-connected disabilities automatically receive a cost-of-living increase every December 1st, tied to the same formula used for Social Security. Currently, Congress must pass a separate bill each year to approve these raises, which creates uncertainty and delays. Making it automatic means veterans no longer have to worry about whether Congress will act in time to keep their disability payments in line with rising costs for groceries, rent, and other essentials.
