President signs bill cosponsored by Senator Hassan to help veterans with disabilities receive benefits

WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Joe Biden signed a bill cosponsored by U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) to automatically provide cost-of-living increases to Veterans Affairs benefits for certain veterans with disabilities and dependent survivors.

“Benefits for veterans with disabilities and dependent survivors should be consistent and not subject to arbitrary decisions by Congress,” said Hassan. “This commonsense bill will automatically include yearly cost-of-living adjustments for benefits, instead of having Congress approve them every year. We can never fully repay our veterans for the sacrifices they have made, but making sure that they consistently receive the benefits they deserve is an important step.”
