Updated: Nov 20, 2025

Summary

This bill, known as the "Stamp Out Veterans Medical Debt Act," establishes a mechanism for public contributions to alleviate veterans' medical debt. It mandates the United States Postal Service to issue and sell a special postage stamp, designated as the Veterans Medical Debt Relief Stamp , providing a convenient way for individuals to support this cause. All proceeds generated from the sale of these stamps will be transferred directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA is then directed to use these funds specifically for paying down veterans' unresolved copayment and coinsurance billings for services. This includes medical debt incurred for hospital care, medical services, and extended care provided by the VA or through its Community Care Program. The stamp is designed to be issued annually in time for Veterans Day , with its specific illustration and design determined by the USPS, and will not be subject to any numerical limitations on its issuance.
