Walberg Supports Legislation to Deliver Cost-of-Living Increase for Veterans

Today, Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-05) supported the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act, which passed the House. This bipartisan legislation would direct the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to raise certain veteran and survivor benefits consistent with Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs), thereby ensuring these benefits maintain pace with inflation.

"We owe immeasurable gratitude to those who have served our nation and safeguarded the freedoms upon which our nation was founded," said Rep. Walberg. "As we honor our nation's heroic veterans this week, we must ensure that we deliver meaningful benefits to veterans and their families. This legislation ensures that VA benefits keep pace with changes in the economy, preserving purchasing power and providing them with better financial stability. We must continue to work to support those who have served and sacrificed for our country."
