To amend title 38, United States Code, to ensure fair reimbursement rates for home and community-based services furnished by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to set fair payment rates for home and community-based services like nursing care and assistance with daily living that veterans receive in their homes or local communities.

AIR CARE for Vets Act of 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs would test new imaging software that creates detailed 3D pictures of how lungs function to help doctors spot breathing problems and lung diseases in veterans more accurately. This pilot program would allow the VA to evaluate whether this advanced technology can improve how respiratory conditions are diagnosed and treated for veterans seeking care. The program would help determine if this tool should become a standard part of veteran healthcare services.

VA Police Security Enhancement Act

The proposal would give Department of Veterans Affairs police officers broader authority to enforce laws and maintain order at VA facilities and surrounding areas. Currently, these officers have limited jurisdiction, but the expansion would allow them to respond to a wider range of situations and protect veterans, staff, and property more effectively across VA grounds.

Northern Marianas VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic Authorization Act of 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be allowed to build or improve a small medical facility in Saipan to serve veterans in the Northern Mariana Islands.

The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

21st Century ROAD to Housing Act

Housing for the 21st Century Act This bill revises federal housing programs, including by expanding available financing for affordable housing and providing grants for planning and community development activities. For example, the bill increases the statutory maximum loan limits for mortgage insurance programs administered by the Federal Housing Administration for multifamily homes and requires the use of a more specific inflation index for such loans. The bill also increases the maximum eligible income for the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (grants to states and localities to support housing for low-income households) and establishes a grant program to assist regional, state, and local entities with strategies to support affordable housing. In addition, the bill exempts certain housing-related activities from the environmental review process, including certain construction, improvement, or rehabilitation of residential buildings; excludes veterans' disability benefits from being considered as income for purposes of determining eligibility for the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program; establishes a pilot program to provide grants to public housing agencies (PHAs) and other owners of federally assisted housing to test the efficacy of temperature sensors to support compliance with temperature requirements; eliminates the requirement that manufactured homes must be constructed with a permanent chassis; and authorizes HUD to conduct performance reviews of organizations that provide housing counseling services. The bill also expands oversight of HUD and PHAs, such as by requiring PHAs to post information about contracts on their websites. For more information about this bill, see CRS Report R48849 .

Improving the Lives of the American People Act

I cannot provide an accurate summary because the bill's title and subjects are too vague to determine what specific policies it would actually implement. The referral to nearly every major congressional committee suggests this is either a broad omnibus bill covering many different policy areas, or a placeholder bill awaiting specific language to be added. Without knowing the actual provisions, I cannot explain in concrete terms what this bill would do or who it would affect.

Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Jefferson Barracks in Missouri and recognizing its contributions to the military history and national security of the United States.

This resolution honors Jefferson Barracks in Missouri on its 200th anniversary and acknowledges its historical importance to the U.S. military and national defense. The measure recognizes the military installation's contributions over two centuries of operation and its role in American security. It has been sent to the Armed Services and Veterans' Affairs committees for review.

Delivering Priority Legislation Act

This bill has been introduced but lacks specific details about what legislation it would actually address, making it impossible to summarize its concrete effects. The bill has been referred to nearly every major House committee, suggesting it may eventually contain provisions affecting workers, businesses, veterans, agriculture, infrastructure, energy, national security, and government operations. Without knowing what specific policies the bill will contain, it's unclear who would be helped or harmed by its passage.

Veteran Burial Timeliness and Death Certificate Accountability Act

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to bury deceased veterans within a specific timeframe and establish accountability measures when those deadlines are missed. It aims to address delays that have left some veteran families waiting extended periods for their loved ones' final burials, while also ensuring death certificates are processed promptly. The legislation would affect veterans' families and VA burial operations across the country.

Locating Our Unclaimed Veterans Act

The Department of Veterans Affairs would create a centralized online system to store and track information about unclaimed remains of deceased veterans, making it easier for families and officials to locate and identify these individuals. This would help ensure that veterans' remains are properly accounted for and can be reunited with their families or given appropriate burial honors. The measure affects veterans' families, VA staff, and funeral homes that may be holding unclaimed remains.

IBOGAINE Act

The proposal would speed up the research, development, and approval process for psychedelic drugs—such as psilocybin and MDMA—that researchers believe could treat serious mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, and anxiety. It aims to make these experimental treatments available to patients faster while potentially helping address the mental health crisis affecting millions of Americans. The bill has been sent to three House committees for review.

WINGS Act

The WINGS Act would likely establish or expand support programs for military service members and veterans, possibly focusing on health care, mental health services, or other benefits. Based on its referral to the Subcommittee on Health, the bill probably addresses medical or wellness issues affecting active-duty personnel, veterans, or their families. The specific provisions would determine whether it expands existing programs, creates new ones, or improves access to care for the military community.

Save MEDICARE Act of 2026

The proposal would adjust how Medicare pays insurance companies that offer Medicare Advantage plans to seniors, aiming to ensure payments are appropriate and fair. The changes could affect millions of older Americans enrolled in these private insurance alternatives to traditional Medicare, as well as the insurance companies that provide them.

PROVIDE Act

The proposal would establish new requirements for how the military handles and protects sensitive information and personnel records. It aims to strengthen security procedures across armed forces operations to prevent unauthorized access or breaches that could compromise national defense or endanger service members and their families.

Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2026

Starting December 1, 2026, veterans who have disabilities connected to their military service would receive higher monthly payments from the VA, and surviving family members of deceased disabled veterans would also get increased benefits. The bill aims to help veterans and their families keep up with rising living costs by boosting the compensation amounts they currently receive. This would affect millions of veterans and their dependents who rely on these VA payments for financial support.
