What the document says
“submit to the Committees on Veterans' Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Senate the results of the review, which may serve as a guide for coverage increases within the existing administrative incremental structure”
Paragraph (2) of the new section 1980B(a), carrying the same schedule as the review itself. The results go to two committees, one in each chamber. The new section says the results may serve as a guide for coverage increases within the existing administrative incremental structure. It sets no new coverage amount and names no structure beyond that phrase.
What the document actually says
“submit to the Committees on Veterans' Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Senate the results of the review, which may serve as a guide for coverage increases within the existing administrative incremental structure”
That sentence, in plain words
The VA must send what it found to Congress. Two groups get it, one in the House and one in the Senate.
What this is about
The law calls the report a guide. It could help set higher coverage later. But the law does not set a new amount here. It does not say a raise must happen.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
