FRAUD in VA Disability Exams Act of 2025

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to look for fraud in disability benefit questionnaires submitted to it, no matter where the questionnaires come from, and to send reports of suspected fraud to investigators such as the VA Inspector General. The VA would have to set up a process for its claim processors to flag suspected fraud, run recurring audits of these questionnaires, and tell applicants when their questionnaires raise suspicion of fraud. The VA Inspector General could use other inspector general authorities it considers necessary to investigate. The VA could not reopen or change a benefit decision based on such an investigation unless the person is convicted of fraud in court. The VA would report to Congress on these efforts at least once a year.
