                                  H.R. 3122
               Veterans Care Financial Protection Act of 2017

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs
                               on October 12, 2017


H.R. 3122 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to post a notice on its
Internet website that warns those who receive benefits for regular aid and attendance of
the risk of financial exploitation. The bill also would require the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) to complete a report that examines the standards used by
federal and state agencies to protect such veterans.

Based on an analysis of the number of people involved in producing similar reports, CBO
estimates that the GAO report would cost about $1 million in 2018 and an insignificant
amount in 2019. That spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
The cost of posting a notice on VA's website would be insignificant, CBO estimates.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3122 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 3122 contains no intergovernmental or private sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matt Schmit. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
