Vets CLEAR Act

This bill changes the rules for the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Care Collections Fund, which holds money the VA recovers for medical care. It adds two new sources of money to the fund: amounts collected under certain federal debt collection and false claims laws, and amounts recovered through administrative, legal, or judicial processes such as investigations and audits, when based on VA medical care. It also lets the VA Secretary choose to deposit into the fund certain reimbursements for care provided under two existing laws, until September 30, 2028. The Government Accountability Office would report to Congress every 180 days on how much money was collected, by source, and how the VA spent it.
