Guaranteed Home For Our Veterans Act of 2005

The Guaranteed Home for Our Veterans Act of 2005 (H.R. 3009) aims to make it easier for veterans to move between state-run nursing homes in different parts of the country. Under this bill, the Department of Veterans Affairs would withhold federal funding from any state that requires a veteran to meet a residency waiting period before transferring into one of its facilities. If passed, the law would allow veterans to transfer to a state home in a new state immediately, provided there is space available, without losing access to care due to local residency rules.
