Aimee Herd : Nov 13, 2026  Breaking Christian News

The bill combines more than 60 veterans-related measures into a single package addressing retirement compensation, survivor benefits, caregiver assistance, health care access and improvements to the Department of Veterans Affairs. -Military.com

[Breaking Christian News] On Veterans Day this past Wednesday, and according to a RedState.com report, "after MONTHS of stonewalling from Democrats," the House passed the Take Care of America's Veterans Act. (Image via Pixabay)

RedState notes: "...when the Democrats momentarily took their eye off the ball, the GOP members passed it via a voice vote."

In a post on X, Conservative Brief pointed out what was in the bill, which now will head to the Senate.

The post stated that the Take Care of America's Veterans Act:

- Raises the housing allowance for veterans in apprenticeships
- Lets certain retirees with combat-related disabilities collect BOTH their disability pay and military retired pay - Extends benefits to surviving spouses who remarry - Increases dependency and indemnity compensation for families
- Creates a new supplemental monthly allowance for certain disabled veterans
- Bars VA from denying a claim solely over a missed exam
- Expands support for family caregivers
- Extends the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program
- Expands VA mental health research
- Codifies eligibility standards for the Veterans Community Care Program

Rep. Steve Scalise commented on the Democrats' complaints saying, "If a few of them want to go voice their objections, they can go and make it clear on the House floor why they're against our veterans on Veterans Day. But I was proud to support it. And, of course, you saw there's tremendous support for the bill." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
