Full Cost of War Act

This bill would require that any future law authorizing the use of military force or declaring war also include funding authority for the Department of Veterans Affairs. That funding would cover medical care, disability compensation, and other earned benefits that veterans need because of activities carried out under the war authorization. The amount would be such sums as may be necessary, as jointly determined by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The requirement would apply only to authorizations or declarations enacted after this bill becomes law.
