Protecting Home-Based Care for Rural Veterans Act of 2026
To amend title 38, United States Code, to ensure fair reimbursement rates for home and community-based services furnished by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9752, proposes to make changes to federal law to ensure that veterans receive fair and adequate reimbursement rates for home and community-based services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Home and community-based services are care options that allow veterans to live in their own homes rather than in a nursing home or other facility.
The bill would affect veterans who rely on home and community-based services, as well as the providers who deliver these services. By ensuring fair reimbursement rates, the bill aims to help maintain and improve the quality and availability of these care options for veterans.
HB9752 was introduced on July 16, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs on the same day. This is the first step in the legislative process. The bill is currently under review by the committee.
