Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act of 2026
The bill expands and protects benefits and loan access for veterans, survivors, and some Reserve/Guard members—improving income support and home‑loan eligibility—while increasing near‑term federal costs, extending existing policy settings through 2036, and creating implementation, notification, and fee burdens for some beneficiaries.
Veterans Community Care Scheduling Improvement Act
The bill aims to improve veterans' access and transparency by unifying scheduling and temporarily extending protections, at the cost of higher short‑term VA/taxpayer expenses and risks that technical, participation, or administrative issues could limit the benefits.
Delivering Digitally to Our Veterans Act of 2025

Automotive Support Services to Improve Safe Transportation Act of 2025
The bill secures continued pension payments and clarifies coverage for vehicle adaptations—improving stability and access for veterans—while increasing federal costs and posing short-term implementation risks for benefit delivery.
