Met with the @MyCalVet leadership today to discuss protecting the benefits and care that California’s 1.6 million Veterans earned and deserve.

Because just as we leave no soldier behind on the battlefield, we must leave no Veteran behind when they come home.

[Stars and Stripes @starsandstripes]

BREAKING: The new rule that altered how the Department of Veterans Affairs determines disability compensation for millions of veterans will be revoked, according to a formal VA notice scheduled to be published Friday in the Federal Register.

[VA Secretary Doug Collins @SecVetAffairs]

Effective immediately, VA is halting enforcement of the interim final rule, Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication.

VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy and protect Veterans’ benefits in the wake of an ongoing court action. But many interpreted the rule as something that could result in adverse consequences.

While VA does not agree with the way this rule has been characterized, the department always takes Veterans’ concerns seriously. To alleviate these concerns, VA will continue to collect public comments regarding the rule, but it will not be enforced at any time in the future.

Under my leadership, VA is ensuring that everyone applying for benefits receives everything they have earned as quickly and conveniently as possible. This includes reducing the backlog of Veterans waiting for benefits by more than 60 percent. We will continue these improvements on behalf of America’s Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

California stands up to waste, fraud and abuse targeting our veterans.

We’re proud to join the ranks of states protecting those who have served.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Today, I signed SB 694 to protect veterans and service members from fraud!

We're helping vets keep more money in their pockets — including a new $20,000 state income tax credit.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

I just signed legislation to stop predatory actors from exploiting veterans as they navigate the benefits they've earned through service and sacrifice.

We owe our veteran community a debt of gratitude and we will fight to protect them.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

For more than 100 years, CalVet has helped California veterans and their families achieve the dream of homeownership. 🇺🇸🏡

With housing costs rising, demand for the CalVet Home Loan Program is strong—and I’m happy that today the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee approved $150 million to support this critical program. This funding is expected to help at least 363 first time homebuyers. (Note: this program is also available for non-first-time homebuyers).

What sets CalVet apart:
✔️ Affordable home insurance included
✔️ Every loan is hand-underwritten
✔️ CalVet staff work directly with veterans to help them qualify

If you or a veteran you know is looking to buy a home, see if you qualify:

Honoring service by expanding access to safe, affordable homeownership. 🇺🇸💙 @MyCalVet @MaliaCohen @CalTreasurer @GavinNewsom @CalHFA @California_HCD #veteranhousing #homeownership #CalVet

[California Governor's Office of Emergency Services @Cal_OES]

In partnership with Cal OES, a Local Assistance Center opened in @sbcounty Jan. 8–10 for those impacted by the December storms. More than 280 state services were provided. Agencies included @CDInews, @CA_DMV, @cdtfa, @CA_EDD, @CA_FTBFiling_SC, @CAPublicHealth, @CSLB and @MyCalVet

[CalVet @MyCalVet]

Honored to support initiatives that help veterans age with dignity and stability. 💙

[San Francisco Public Press @SFPublicPress]

2 years ago, Swords to Plowshares launched a program offering enhanced services and staffing in subsidized housing to help veterans age in place. Early results are promising but future funding remains uncertain as Trump moves away from long-term subsidies.
