Summary

Veterans Benefits Act of 2000 - Title I: Annual Compensation Increase - Directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to increase, as of December 1, 2000, the rates of veterans' disability compensation, additional compensation for dependents, the clothing allowance for certain disabled adult children, and dependency and indemnity compensation for surviving spouses and children. Requires each such increase to be the same percentage as the increase in benefits provided under title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) of the Social Security Act, on the same effective date. Title II: Benefits Improvements - Includes as a service-connected and therefore compensable injury under veterans' disability compensation provisions a stroke or heart attack incurred or aggravated by members of the reserves during the performance of inactive-duty training or while traveling to or from such training. (Sec. 202) Provides a monthly rate of compensation for the service-connected loss of one or both breasts due to a radical or modified radical mastectomy. Title III: Veterans Life Insurance - Authorizes participation in the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance program for individuals who volunteer for assignment to a mobilization category in the Individual Ready Reserve.
