Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to repay veterans when a fiduciary misuses their benefits and to pursue recovery of the money from that fiduciary. Any money the VA gets back must be promptly paid to the veteran or a new, trusted fiduciary.
Total payments are capped at the amount that was misused, and the VA may not pay the fiduciary who committed the misuse. The VA must also set clear methods and timelines to decide if the misuse happened because of VA negligence.
