A bill to make technical corrections to the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004.
Summary
This bill makes a technical correction to federal law to ensure that active-duty service members with severe service-connected disabilities remain eligible for specially adapted housing grants. A previous legislative change in 2004 inadvertently removed this specific eligibility while creating similar benefits for veterans. By restoring this provision, the bill ensures that qualifying service members can receive financial assistance to modify their homes—such as installing ramps or widening doorways—to accommodate their physical needs while they are still on active duty.
