The act would provide cost-of-living increases for a long list of compensations like wartime disability and dependency and indemnity compensation to children.

U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria, chairwoman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs, introduced a bill to provide a cost-of-living adjustment to veterans.   The bill, the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) Act, would provide cost-of-living increases for wartime disability compensation; compensation for dependents; clothing allowance; dependency and indemnity compensation to surviving spouses; and dependency and indemnity compensation to children.

Any increases would start on December 1.
