Updated: Apr 29, 2026

Summary

This bill mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to identify and report fraudulent activity related to disability benefit questionnaire (DBQ) submissions to appropriate investigatory bodies. It requires the VA to establish a process for claim processors to identify fraud, conduct recurring audits of DBQs, and inform individuals when their questionnaires raise suspicion. The bill grants the VA Inspector General additional authority to investigate suspected activities. However, the VA cannot reopen or change a benefit decision based on an investigation unless the individual has been convicted of fraud. The Secretary must also submit an annual report to Congress on the administration of these provisions.
