An original bill to amend title 38, United States Code, and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding the use of Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration data for income verification for purposes of laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Summary

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to permit disclosure to the Department of Veterans Affairs (Department) of income-related tax return information for the purpose of determining eligibility for specified veterans' pension and benefit programs. Amends Federal law to prohibit the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from using this tax return information to terminate, deny, suspend, or reduce a person's benefits or services without first: (1) taking appropriate steps to verify independently the amount and accessibility of the income in question; and (2) providing the affected individual with notice and an opportunity to respond to the findings. Restricts the Secretary's right to verify or act upon information relating to disability compensation. Directs the Secretary to notify applicants for, and recipients of, Department benefits that income information they provide may be compared with tax return data.
