To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to temporarily extend the period during which certain individuals may file claims for medical care under the CHAMPVA program of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.

This bill changes the deadline for filing certain claims under CHAMPVA, a Department of Veterans Affairs health program for some family members of veterans. It applies to people who are eligible for CHAMPVA, are also entitled to Medicare Part A hospital insurance, and receive retroactive approval for medical care. For these people, the window to file a claim would start on the date they are notified of the retroactive approval and would last at least 365 days. This rule would apply from the date the bill becomes law through September 30, 2027, and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs would issue regulations to carry it out.
