The bill, already approved by the House, now awaits President Donald Trump’s expected signature to become law.

Program to Prevent Veteran Home Foreclosures Has Been Revived

A plan to help veterans struggling with mortgage payments stay in their homes is on track to become law after the Senate approved the proposal. In a voice vote Tuesday night, the Senate passed a bill to create what's known as a partial claims program that will essentially allow veterans with Department of Veterans Affairs home loans to move skipped mortgage payments to the end of their loan term. The bill was previously approved by the House, meaning it just needs President Donald Trump's expected signature before becoming law.
