Mr. Bost is listed as a cosponsor of H.R. 6047, which would direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to increase the dollar amounts for certain disability compensation and dependency and indemnity compensation under laws administered by the Secretary.
Support increasing the dollar amounts for certain veterans' disability compensation and dependency and indemnity compensation payments.
Occurrences
Evidence
The committee report says H.R. 6047 would amend title 38 to direct VA to increase the dollar amounts for certain disability compensation and dependency and indemnity compensation, and it recommends the bill as amended do pass. It also describes the new monthly allowance and DIC increase provisions.
Bost said he appeared before the Rules Committee in support of H.R. 6047 and asked for a rule so the House could consider it. The release says the bill would increase VA monthly compensation for catastrophically disabled veterans and the surviving families of 100% disabled or deceased veterans.
The Rules Committee meeting page lists H.R. 6047 for consideration on May 19, 2026, and links the House Veterans' Affairs report H. Rept. 119-577 accompanying the bill that would amend title 38 to increase certain disability compensation and DIC payments.
Assessments
Bost materially supported the promised policy in the current federal term by backing H.R. 6047, appearing before the Rules Committee, and helping advance a bill reported favorably by the House Veterans' Affairs Committee to increase certain veterans' disability compensation and dependency and indemnity compensation payments. However, the evidence shows only committee reporting and Rules Committee consideration as of May 2026, not final enactment or actual payment increases, so the promised policy outcome has not been fully delivered.
