Veteran Acquired Brain Injury Caregiving Act

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to start a five-year pilot program within 180 days of becoming law. Under the program, veterans clinically assessed to have an acquired brain injury, and who qualify under existing law, could use Veteran-Directed Care program funds to buy care from tax-exempt nonprofit organizations that provide Veteran-Directed Care services. The program would run at no fewer than five VA medical centers. The VA would report each year to the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs committees on how many veterans and nonprofits take part, veterans' clinical outcomes, and veteran satisfaction.
