VSAFE Act of 2025

This bill establishes a dedicated Veterans Scam and Fraud Evasion Officer within the Department of Veterans Affairs. This officer will be responsible for leading fraud and scam prevention, reporting, and incident response plans across the Department. The role also involves serving as a central point of contact to direct veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors to essential resources for preventing and mitigating fraud and scams. Key responsibilities of the VSAFE Officer include providing comprehensive communication during fraud incidents, establishing consistent guidance on identifying and avoiding scams, and promoting the VSAFE Fraud Hotline and website. The officer will also develop methods to monitor fraud metrics, facilitate trend identification, and coordinate extensively with the VA Inspector General and other federal agencies like the Department of Justice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to enhance prevention efforts. Furthermore, the bill extends the sunset date for certain limits on the payment of VA pensions from November 30, 2031, to January 30, 2032.
