VSAFE Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill creates a new position called the Veterans Scam and Fraud Evasion Officer at the VA to lead the fight against criminals who target veterans with scams and identity theft.
• The officer will manage a central hotline and the VSAFE.gov website, giving veterans, their families, and caregivers a single place to go for help and information on how to avoid being cheated.
• The VA will develop new training for its employees so they can better recognize fraud attempts and help veterans who have already been targeted by scammers.
• To stop scammers more effectively, the VA will share data and coordinate with other federal agencies, including the IRS, the Department of Justice, and the Social Security Administration.
• The bill also extends existing rules that limit certain pension payments for veterans staying in Medicaid-covered nursing homes until January 30, 2032.
