Summary:

Congress continues to examine veterans programs for efficiencies and improvements, and continues to consider expansions in coverage, access, and the number of veterans served by VA medical programs. A cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for service-connected compensation benefit checks was passed by Congress -- a 3.6 percent increase, matching the automatic increases received by most federal benefit programs.
