Senator Moran Advocates for VA Benefit Adjustments and Lactation Spaces for Veterans

Annual Cost of Living Adjustment for Veterans

• 💰 The Annual Veterans Compensation Cost of Living Adjustment Act of 2025 aims to increase VA benefits by 2.8%.
• 📈 This adjustment includes disability compensation, clothing allowances, and dependency and indemnity compensation for surviving spouses and children.
• 🎯 The goal is to ensure VA benefits keep pace with the rate of inflation and align with Social Security Administration adjustments.
• ✅ This provides veterans and their families with financial stability and alleviates stress from economic uncertainty.

Lactation Spaces for Veteran Mothers

• 🤱 The Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs has reported out the Lactation Spaces for Veterans Moms Act.
• 🏥 This bill mandates that each VA medical center provide an appropriate space for veteran mothers to pump or breastfeed.
• 🚀 Recognizing that women veterans are the fastest-growing patient demographic, the VA must adapt to meet their needs.

Legislative Actions

• 📜 Senator Moran asked for unanimous consent to proceed with the immediate consideration of S2392, the Cost of Living Adjustment Act.
• 🤝 Following its passage, he also requested immediate consideration of S778, the Lactation Spaces for Veterans Moms Act.
• ✅ Both measures were considered read a third time and passed without objection.
