Bipartisan Bill Targets Predatory "Claim Sharks" That Exploit Disabled Veterans

A bipartisan bill sponsored by Reps. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., and Don Bacon, R-Neb., aims to curb predatory collection practices by companies that charge disabled veterans for help with VA benefits claims. The legislation would prevent companies from using auto-dialers to call federal agencies, targeting companies like Trajector Medical that use automated technology to monitor veterans' VA benefit payments and automatically bill them when their ratings increase. The bill was prompted by a 2025 NPR investigation revealing Trajector's CallBot program placed tens of thousands of monthly calls to a VA hotline meant for veterans.

Bipartisan Bills Aim to Help Family Caregivers Save More for Retirement

Bipartisan legislation introduced in both the House and Senate would help family caregivers save more for retirement by easing contribution rules for Roth IRAs and allowing catch-up contributions regardless of age. The Improving Retirement Security for Family Caregivers Act would let qualifying caregivers contribute up to the annual IRA maximum even with lower earned income. The Catching Up Family Caregivers Act would allow caregivers to make extra retirement plan contributions currently reserved for workers 50+, regardless of age, for five years after returning to work. Family caregivers provide nearly $1 trillion in unpaid care annually.
