Veterans Affairs: Faster Payments for Specially Adapted Vehicles

Law

This bill aims to speed up how the Department of Veterans Affairs pays car dealerships when disabled veterans buy specially equipped vehicles. Currently, delays in these payments can make it harder for veterans to get the transportation they need.
The Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to pay car sellers within 30 days. If a payment takes longer than that, the agency must publicly report exactly how many days it took to process.
To make the system more efficient, all payments would be handled by one central office instead of being spread out. The agency must also create a system to track and fix any payments that have been stuck for more than 90 days.
This change helps veterans by encouraging more car dealers to participate in the program. When dealers know they will be paid quickly and reliably, they are more likely to work with veterans who need modified cars or trucks.
