The bill would create a Veterans Scam and Fraud Evasion Officer within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The officer would coordinate scam prevention, reporting, and response; share guidance with veterans and VA staff; promote fraud resources; track scam trends; train employees; and work with other agencies and organizations. The bill also extends certain limits on pension payments through January 30, 2032.
Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors would have a central VA contact to direct them to resources for preventing and addressing scams. The officer would also share guidance on identifying and reporting fraud. The bill does not change the number of VA full-time employees authorized.
The bill provides no publicly available information about costs or funding. It says the new section does not authorize an increase in VA full-time employees.
