Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025

# Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would expand the types of healthcare providers that veterans can use through the VA's Community Care Program. Specifically, it would allow nurse registries—organizations that hire and manage nurses and home health aides—to become eligible providers.

This means veterans could potentially hire home care workers through these registries instead of being limited to other types of providers currently approved by the VA. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects veterans who need in-home healthcare services, as well as nurse registries and home care agencies. It could give veterans more options for finding nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, home health aides, and other home support workers when they need care at home rather than in a facility. **Current Status** The bill (HR 1937) was introduced by Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
