Evidence

GovInfo’s bill record shows Sen. Jerry Moran introduced S. 4487 on May 11, 2026, and that it was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. The record lists the short title as the Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2026.

Moran took concrete legislative action to advance the veterans COLA bill, but the available official record only shows introduction and committee referral, not passage.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

As of May 24, 2026, the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2026, S. 4487, has been introduced by Sen. Jerry Moran and referred to the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, but the available official bill status does not show passage by Congress or enactment. Moran therefore made a concrete same-term legislative effort toward the promised outcome, but the promise to work to pass the bill has not yet resulted in passage.

never same_term A for effort

Moran introduced S. 4487, the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2026, on May 11, 2026, and it was referred to the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs. The evidence shows a serious legislative attempt in the same Senate term, but not that the bill passed or that the promised COLA outcome was enacted. Because the promise was to work to pass the Act and the available record shows only introduction/referral, the promised outcome has not been delivered yet.
