CRUISE Act

This bill seeks to enhance the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) system for reimbursing automobile sellers who provide vehicles to certain disabled veterans. It amends existing law to ensure greater efficiency and accountability in these financial transactions, ultimately benefiting both veterans and sellers. Key provisions include requiring the VA to make payments in compliance with prompt payment standards, specifically within 30 days. If a payment is not processed within this timeframe, the Secretary must publicly disclose the number of days taken. Furthermore, the bill mandates the centralization of the payment process within the VA's Central Office and the development of a system to track and resolve payments outstanding for over 90 days.
