On Thursday, January 2, 2025, President Joe Biden signed into law the “Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act.”
This legislation will enhance access to in-home care for veterans with ALS. The bill makes home care costs more affordable by increasing the share of covering the cost from the Department of Veterans Affairs to 100%.
Back on December 16, 2024, the House passed the bill with bipartisan support in a 382-12 vote.
