#7: What The One Big Beautiful Bill Means For Veterans
In this episode of Vets with Benefits, VA attorney Todd Wesche breaks down what the recently enacted H.R. 1 “One Big Beautiful Bill” means for veterans, especially disabled veterans. While the law doesn’t directly change VA benefits, it does make significant updates to SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid, and the tax treatment of forgiven student loans for disabled veterans.
If you’re a veteran who’s been denied benefits, never filed a claim, or you’re already service-connected but rely on these programs, you need to understand the changes and the exemptions so you can protect your benefits. Todd explains the rules, the possible pitfalls, and the steps you can take right now to make sure you don’t lose access to critical support.
