HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2025 Veteran Bills Passed By Congress and Signed Into Law

Between January and late December, Congress passed 14 laws reshaping military and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits in accordance to rising costs, ongoing deployments, and pressure from veterans’ groups.

The lawful measures range from automatic increases for disability and survivor benefits; in-state tuition for Selected Reserve students to new foreclosure protections; repayment guarantees for stolen benefits; and required separation counseling for troops leaving the force. Several also fold in wildfire aircraft transfers, clinic construction, and major changes to tax and border spending.

The lawful measures range from automatic increases for disability and survivor benefits; in-state tuition for Selected Reserve students to new foreclosure protections; repayment guarantees for stolen benefits; and required separation counseling for troops leaving the force. Several also fold in wildfire aircraft transfers, clinic construction, and major changes to tax and border spending.

Here are the 2025 bill passed and signed into law by President Donald J Trump:

S.2392 – Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2025

Cost of Living Adjustment of 2.8 % for Retirees and Veterans Receiving  VA Disability

Under legislation known as the Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2025, cost-of-living increases for disability and survivor benefits will now automatically match Social Security every year without separate votes. That change began Dec. 1 and stops benefits from lagging behind inflation.

For 2026, both military retirees and disabled veterans are receiving a 2.8% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), an increase designed to combat inflation, taking effect in late December 2025/early January 2026, aligning their benefits with Social Security adjustments and impacting disability payments for all ratings. This means your VA disability or retirement check will increase by that percentage, with the first higher payment usually hitting your bank on the last business day of December 2025.

Key Details:

  • 2026 COLA: 2.8%.
  • Effective Date: December 1, 2025, with the first payment reflecting the raise on December 31, 2025.
  • Who’s Affected: All VA disability ratings (10%-100%), military retirees, and survivors receiving DIC.
  • Beginning Aug. 1, 2026, under the MGIB-SR Tuition Fairness Act, Reservists using the Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve will qualify for in-state tuition at public colleges  Schools that refuse will be at risk of losing VA approval to accept military education benefits.
  • Life insurance coverage under Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance and Veterans’ Group Life Insurance must now be reviewed every five years and adjusted based on consumer price index data. That review cycle prevents coverage from lagging behind real-world housing and medical costs.
  • Medal of Honor pensions will now track VA disability tables instead of a flat rate that trailed inflation.
  • Payment tiers for Selected Reserve education benefits vary by enrollment status and training load, with monthly stipends adjusted annually to reflect housing and tuition shifts.

VETIP: If you’re a veteran and didn’t see the December Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) in your payment on time (around Dec 31, 2025, for the Dec benefit), you should first check your bank deposit/VA app for early payments, then contact the

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) directly at 1-800-MyVA411 (1-800-698-2411) for assistance with missing payments or benefit questions. The 2026 COLA (2.8%) takes effect in December, but payments are made in arrears, so the first check with the increase usually arrives in early January (or late December due to the holiday).

Legislation Helping Veterans Pending Foreclosure

H.R.1815 – VA Home Loan Program Reform Act

VA Can Step in Before Foreclosure

The VA now has the authority to buy a percentage of a delinquent mortgage and transfer that debt into a VA-managed loan, according to the Veterans Housing Protection Act.

The “partial claim” can cover up to 30% of unpaid principal for veterans who fell behind on payments between March 1, 2020, and May 1, 2025.

The law requires oversight audits to track how many veterans use partial claims, how many re-default, and what the cost is to taxpayers. Lenders cannot use the authority to inflate VA liability or accelerate foreclosure timelines. Lawmakers said the program acts as a post-pandemic bridge after temporary mortgage relief programs expired and filings increased.

VA provides over $77 million in grants to state Veterans cemeteries

The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded more than $77 million in grants in fiscal year 2025 for the expansion and improvement of 20 state Veterans cemeteries throughout the nation and one establishment grant for Alaska’s first state Veterans cemetery.

VA’s National Cemetery Administration reimburses states for the cost of building, improving, or expanding state-run Veterans cemeteries. State grants typically fund the construction of pre-placed crypts, columbaria, and improvements required to continue interments and operations.

In FY 2025, VA grant-funded cemeteries interred more than 43,705 Veterans and eligible family members, which is approximately 25% of the 174,705 total annual interments in all national and VA grant-funded Veterans cemeteries.

Since 1980, VA has awarded grants totaling over $1.1 billion to 124 Veterans cemeteries in 47 states, 14 tribal nations, and 3 territories (Guam, Saipan, and Puerto Rico). In partnership with VA’s 157 national cemeteries, these State, Territorial, and Tribal Veterans Cemeteries ensure more than 94% of all Veterans living in the United States have access to a Veterans cemetery within 75 miles of their home.

“Veterans cemeteries keep the memories of America’s heroes alive,” said VA Secretary Doug Collins. “Under President Trump, VA is committed to ensuring America’s Veterans cemeteries have the resources they need to provide excellent memorial benefits and services to our nation’s Veterans and their families, and these grants underscore that fact.”

The grants are as follows:

$16,712,172 for the establishment of the Interior Alaska Veterans Cemetery in Fairbanks. The cemetery will serve more than 12,000 Veterans and their eligible family members. This is Alaska’s first state Veterans cemetery.
