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

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to raise certain payments made to veterans with wartime disabilities, their dependents, and surviving spouses and children. The increase would match the same cost-of-living adjustment that Social Security recipients get, starting December 1, 2026. It also covers clothing allowances for certain disabled veterans and allows the VA to make similar adjustments for some other disability compensation. The VA is required to publish the updated payment amounts in the Federal Register.
