Bill overview
The Automotive Support Services to Improve Safe Transportation Act of 2025 (ASSIST Act) amends veterans’ benefits to include medically necessary automobile adaptations. This means the Department of Veterans Affairs can now provide funding for equipment like ramps, lifts, and adapted seating to help veterans with disabilities drive safely. The bill also extends a limit on pension payments for veterans who have been hospitalized or institutionalized, pushing the deadline to September 30, 2032.
