The "DRIVE Act Driver Reimbursement Increase for Veteran Equity Act" aims to enhance equity for veterans by increasing the reimbursement rates for veterans who use their personal vehicles to access Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical care. This bill proposes raising the mileage reimbursement rate to match the rate set by the General Services Administration, which would provide fairer compensation for veterans traveling for healthcare needs. The main provision involves adjusting the reimbursement rates to better reflect current transportation costs and ensure veterans are adequately supported in accessing essential medical services.
