Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2026

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to raise the payments it gives to veterans with wartime disabilities, veterans with dependents, disabled veterans who receive a clothing allowance, and surviving spouses and children of veterans. The increase would match the same cost-of-living raise that Social Security recipients get starting December 1, 2026. The VA must publish the new payment amounts in the Federal Register and is also allowed to make similar increases for people receiving disability payments who haven't yet been compensated for service-connected disability or death.
