Guaranteed Home For Our Veterans Act of 2005
Summary
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.
