Deliver for Veterans Act

# Deliver for Veterans Act Summary **What the bill does:** This bill modifies how the Department of Veterans Affairs pays for vehicles given to disabled veterans and active-duty service members. Currently, the VA covers either a set amount ($26,417.20, adjusted yearly for inflation) or the full purchase price—whichever is less—but doesn't include delivery costs. This bill would require the VA to also cover delivery expenses as part of the vehicle assistance benefit. **Who it affects:** Disabled veterans and active-duty service members who qualify for the VA's vehicle assistance program.

These individuals typically have service-connected disabilities that make vehicle modifications or new vehicles necessary for mobility and independence. **Current status:** The bill has passed the House of Representatives and is awaiting further action in the Senate. The change is relatively straightforward and nonpartisan, addressing what sponsors view as a gap in current veteran benefits by ensuring delivery costs don't come out of disabled veterans' pockets.
