Cost-of-Living Adjustments

- Member security
- Veterans' housing programs
- Health programs
Modifications to Health Programs
It also includes modifications to health-related programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Extension of Veterans' Services
The bill extends a range of veterans' services and authorities that will remain in effect until October 31, 2025. These services include:
- Nursing home care
- Transportation for veterans
- Financial assistance for various needs
