Bill overview
This bill changes the definition of ‘veteran’ under U.S. law to include members of the National Guard and other reserve components who have served for a minimum of 90 days on active duty, including at least 30 consecutive days. Currently, eligibility for VA home loans was limited to those with a longer period of active service. This expansion aims to provide more veterans, specifically those in the reserve forces, access to VA loan guarantees and assistance with purchasing a home. The bill clarifies that service in the National Guard and other reserve components qualifies for these benefits.
