HR 542

Sponsored by Julia Brownley (D)

Elizabeth Dole Home Care Act of 2023

Would have expanded VA home care and caregiver programs and extended a housing loan fee rate through 2032.

Tradeoff

Would have raised the VA's cap on home care costs from 65% to 100% of nursing home costs. Would have let the VA go above that cap for veterans with ALS or spinal cord injuries.
