Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Susan Collins (R-ME) and Reps. Daniel Meuser (R-PA) and David Trone (D-MD) introduced legislation to improve the VA adaptive automobile grant program. S. 444 and H.R. 1361 would allow eligible disabled veterans to receive an adaptive automobile grant every 10 years. Currently, they may only receive one adaptive automobile grant during their lifetime, despite the fact that automobiles are typically only useful for 10 years.
