Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act of 2026

This bill does several things for veterans and their families. It creates a new monthly payment of $833.33 for disabled veterans who already receive help because they need aid and attendance due to injuries from their military service. It also increases the monthly payments made to surviving family members of veterans or service members who died because of service-related conditions. The bill makes it easier for National Guard and reserve members to qualify for home loans through the VA by counting annual training as active duty and allowing eligibility after just 14 days of active-duty service. It also extends certain VA home loan fees and limits on pension amounts for hospitalized veterans through September 30, 2036.
