Political Quotes

“I am honored to be here today to speak on my bill, H.R. 7777, the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2024. The bill would increase certain amounts of compensation that veterans and their families receive as well as the clothing allowance benefits for certain veterans. Specifically, the bill would ensure that the VA benefits are adjusted by the same percentage as the cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security benefits recipients. Veterans and their families often depend on VA compensation benefits to meet their financial needs. This bill is critical to ensure that their VA benefits keep up with inflation and today's increased cost of living. I appreciate Ranking Member Pappas and Mr. Bost for their support of this bill. I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 7777, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
