The office says Hill voted for FY2026 appropriations legislation that included funding for the federal discretionary budget; the release is not specific to veterans’ health care and benefits funding, but it shows continued support for appropriations passage rather than a block on VA funding.

Assessments
Hill promised to support full funding for veterans' health care and benefits. During the same House term, he voted Yea on H.R. 8469, the FY2027 Military Construction-VA appropriations bill, which passed the House and directly funded VA health care, benefits administration, compensation and pensions, and the Toxic Exposures Fund. Because the promise was framed as support rather than sole enactment responsibility, his affirmative vote and public support for the relevant VA appropriations measure satisfy the commitment in the federal representative context.
The promise was to support full funding for veterans' health care and benefits, and the strongest evidence shows Hill voted for H.R. 8469, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2027, which his office described as fully funding veterans' health care and benefits with specific VA health and toxic exposure fund amounts. Because this is a support pledge rather than a promise to singlehandedly enact funding, his affirmative vote on the relevant appropriations bill is sufficient to count as fulfillment. Additional evidence from a continuing resolution and broader appropriations support reinforces that he consistently backed maintaining VA care and benefits funding during the same term.
