Bill overview
The Full Cost of War Act aims to ensure that Congress fully considers the long-term costs of military operations on veterans. Specifically, it mandates that any new authorization for the use of military force or declaration of war must include a dedicated appropriation for the Department of Veterans Affairs. This appropriation will be used to provide medical care, disability compensation, and other benefits to veterans affected by the military action, as determined by the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs. The goal is to more comprehensively account for the financial burden of war on those who serve and their families.
