Bill overview
This bill, the Aid and Attendance Support Act, temporarily increases financial assistance for veterans and surviving spouses who require assistance with daily living activities, such as help with eating, bathing, or dressing. It specifically boosts payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs by 25% for a period of 60 days following the end of the COVID-19 emergency. These increased benefits are designed to help veterans and their families afford the care they need at home or in nursing facilities. The bill targets specific VA benefit programs to provide this enhanced support.
