PowderRiverCowboy Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Well so heres the Build back better for Disabled Vets , serve get injured and you might get a Disability check Option Component. Under this option, VA would means-test all current and prospective recipients of VA disability compensation beginning in January 2024; after that date, veterans would receive full payments only if their gross household income in the prior calendar year was less than an inflation-indexed threshold for that year. Disability benefits would be phased out at a constant rate for veterans with income above the threshold: For every additional two dollars of gross household income, disability compensation would decrease by one dollar. Effects on the Budget. CBO estimates that reducing or eliminating VA disability benefits for households whose gross household income exceeded the threshold would lower mandatory spending by $253 billion between 2023 and 2032 relative to CBO's baseline. In 2024, the number of veterans who would no longer receive any payments would total 1 million, and the number receiving reduced benefits would equal about 500,000, CBO estimates. Those numbers would increase to 1.1 million and 550,000 veterans in 2032, respectively. Savings would total $33 billion in that year, a reduction of 19 percent in the program's spending.https://www.cbo.gov/budget-options/58631 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 They have already spent the money on relief checks - this is most likely one of the ways they hope to offset some of the overspending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 So if the Disabled Vet is not below some arbitrary income level, then their disability check will be reduced until they are. Next step is means testing Social Security payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
