一项两党法案旨在增加受伤退伍军人及其家属的《退伍军人津贴法案》已经取得进展,但在拟议贷款费方面面临资金争议。 A bipartisan bill to boost VA benefits for injured veterans and their families has advanced, but faces funding disputes over a proposed loan fee.

《Sharri Briley和Eric Edmundson退伍军人福利扩大法》获得众议院听证会的支持,该法案旨在将年度残疾津贴增加10 000美元,并在五年内将遗属福利每年提高1%,这是自1993年以来第一次进行非通货膨胀调整。 A bipartisan bill to expand VA benefits for severely injured veterans and their families, the Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act, has gained support in a House hearing, aiming to increase annual disability payments by $10,000 and raise survivor benefits by 1% yearly for five years—its first non-inflation adjustment since 1993. 虽然立法者同意有必要加强对50多万受影响家庭的支持,但他们在资金问题上仍然有分歧,共和党人提议为残疾退伍军人提供第二笔VA家庭贷款的贷款费,而民主党反对这种做法,认为这种做法不公平。 While lawmakers agree on the need for enhanced support for over 500,000 affected families, they remain divided on funding, with Republicans proposing a loan fee on second VA home loans for disabled veterans, a move Democrats oppose as unfair. 该法案的进展取决于解决这一筹资分歧。 The bill’s progress hinges on resolving this funding disagreement.
