This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to temporarily extend the timeframe for certain people to file claims for medical care under the CHAMPVA program. This applies to individuals who receive retroactive approval for medical care. The extension lasts from the date the Act is enacted until September 30, 2027. For these individuals, the period to file a claim would start when they receive notice of retroactive approval. The deadline to file would end no earlier than 365 days after receiving that notice.
