This bill seeks to expand medical care eligibility for dependents under the CHAMPVA program by increasing the maximum age for child beneficiaries. It amends title 38, United States Code, to allow children to receive benefits until their 26th birthday , irrespective of their marital status. This change ensures that more young adults can continue to access vital healthcare services through the program. The legislation clarifies that this extension does not limit eligibility for permanently incapacitated children. These new provisions will apply to all medical care provided on or after the bill's enactment date.
