Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to repay veterans (or their successor fiduciaries) when a court-appointed or otherwise authorized fiduciary misuses veterans’ benefit payments, to try to recover those funds from the misusing fiduciary, and to pass any recouped money on to the veteran if it has not already been paid. Establishes payment limits, rules for payments when a beneficiary dies, and directs the Secretary to adopt procedures and timelines to decide whether the misuse was caused by VA negligence without delaying initial repayments during that review.
