veterans and military affairs
Under current law, an eligible veteran may receive a loan of up to $25,000 from the veterans housing loan program to improve his or her home, including making the home handicapped accessible or adding a garage to the home. This bill removes the limit on the amount of the loan.
Currently, an eligible veteran may receive a loan from the veterans housing loan program to purchase or improve a home only if the home is or will be the veteran's principal place of residence. This bill allows such a loan if the veteran uses the home as a residence.
The bill adds persons who completed six continuous years under honorable conditions in the national guard or a reserve component of the U.S. armed forces to those who are eligible to receive a loan under the housing loan program.
Currently, a veteran may receive a housing loan to refinance another loan. Refinancing loans are available only for the same type of use that the housing loan program covers. The loan may be used to pay for balances due on a construction or bridge loan. The loan may be also be used for the payment of a loan if the loan's balance does not exceed the amount requested in any prior application by the veteran and the debt was incurred after the veteran made an application to the DVA that was denied. This bill allows the use of a housing loan to refinance the balance due on any indebtedness as long as the previous loan was incurred for the same type of use that the housing loan program covers.
