Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

The Deliver for Veterans Act of 2025 would modify the VA’s automobiles and adaptive equipment program by expanding the costs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs may pay. Specifically, it adds the shipping or delivery cost of an automobile or other conveyance adapted for operation by a disabled individual to the amount the VA can cover for eligible recipients. In practical terms, when the VA funds the purchase of an adapted vehicle for an eligible person, the bill ensures the VA can also pay the vehicle’s delivery/shipping costs, not just the purchase price. The bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Murkowski (with Senator Schatz) and is currently in the introduced stage.

Key Points

  • 1Expands VA payment authority to include delivery/shipping costs for adapted vehicles.
  • 2The payment base is amended to add the total shipping price to deliver the automobile or conveyance to the eligible person alongside the total purchase price.
  • 3Applies to delivery of automobiles or other conveyances to eligible persons (as defined under current VA automobile assistance provisions).
  • 4Keeps the initiative within the existing framework for VA automobile and adaptive equipment assistance (no new program structure created).
  • 5Sponsored by Senators Murkowski and Schatz; introduced in the 119th Congress.

Impact Areas

Primary group/area affected: Eligible veterans with qualifying disabilities who receive an adapted automobile or other conveyance.Secondary group/area affected: VA budgeting and execution processes (potentially increasing covered costs), automobile vendors and delivery/shipping providers working with the VA.Additional impacts: May reduce out-of-pocket costs for recipients and improve timely access to mobility aids; could necessitate clarifications on definitions of “eligible persons” and implementation timelines within the VA’s existing program.
