Bill overview
This bill, the Home Health Aides for Veterans’ Spouses Act, aims to expand access to long-term care services for the spouses of veterans who are 75 years of age or older. It allows the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide extended care services, similar to those offered to veterans themselves, to these spouses if the Secretary deems it to be in their best interests. The bill specifically amends existing law to include spouses in the eligibility criteria for these services. This legislation seeks to support the well-being of veteran spouses facing long-term care needs.
