Plain Language Summary
# Deliver for Veterans Act of 2025 - Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to cover delivery costs when buying vehicles for eligible disabled veterans and active-duty service members. Currently, the VA has a spending cap of $26,417.20 (adjusted yearly for inflation) and can pay the full purchase price of a vehicle, but delivery fees are not included in this coverage. The bill would change this so that delivery costs are covered under the same payment structure. **Who it affects:** The bill specifically impacts disabled veterans and active-duty military members who qualify for VA vehicle assistance programs.
These individuals typically have service-connected disabilities that the VA has approved for adaptive vehicle benefits. **Current status:** The bill (S 1267) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. No action has been taken on it yet.
