Summary
This bill amends veterans' rehabilitation and benefits programs under title 38 of the U.S. Code. It establishes a bar to certain VA benefits for individuals convicted of assaulting or resisting VA officers or employees, expands vocational rehabilitation eligibility periods, requires Secretary approval for equipment purchases exceeding $5,000, and sets a $250,000 cap on federal funds for rehabilitation programs with automatic annual adjustments. The bill also authorizes vocational rehabilitation specialists to redevelop individualized plans, adjusts subsistence allowance calculations based on veteran residence location, requires employment counselors at regional VA offices, and prohibits veterans in vocational rehabilitation programs from receiving disability compensation rated as total based on individual unemployability.
