This bill fully funds veterans' health care and benefits.
Will support full funding for veterans' health care and benefits.
Occurrences
I have made it a top priority to ensure our veterans receive the care, recognition, and benefits they have earned.
Evidence
Rep. Hill voted for H.R. 8469, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2027. His office says the bipartisan bill “fully funds veterans' health care and benefits,” including $138.2 billion for veterans’ health care and $54.6 billion for the Toxic Exposures Fund.
Hill’s statement on the House-passed continuing resolution says the measure “extends programs at the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure our veterans continue to receive the care and benefits they have earned.”
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
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.
