          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reimburse Veterans for Domiciliary Care Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to prescribe a rule related to the waiver of certain requirements for the payment of per diem for domiciliary care in a state home. (A state home is a home established by a state for veterans who are disabled by age, disease, or otherwise and are incapable of earning a living because of such disability. The term also includes a home that furnishes nursing home care for veterans.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Under the bill, the VA must prescribe a rule that authorizes the waiver of certain requirements for a veteran to be eligible for per diem payments for domiciliary care at a state home if the veteran has met at least four of the current requirements or the waiver would be in the best interest of the veteran. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In prescribing the rule, the VA must ensure its authority to provide payments to state homes is retroactive to January 5, 2021.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
