Adds a new subparagraph (C) to 42 U.S.C. 5302(a)(20) requiring that service-connected disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs be excluded when determining low- and moderate-income status.
Excludes Department of Veterans Affairs service‑connected disability compensation from the income calculations states, local governments, and Indian tribes use to determine who is low‑ or moderate‑income under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. It also directs the Government Accountability Office (Comptroller General) to review how HUD programs treat VA disability pay, identify programs that do not follow this exclusion, and issue legislative recommendations to resolve inconsistencies within one year of enactment.
