Increases mileage reimbursement rates for veterans' health-related travel under the VA's Beneficiary Travel program.

The DRIVE Act of 2025 amends title 38 of the United States Code to enhance the mileage reimbursement rates offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs through their Beneficiary Travel program for health-related travel. This change ensures that the reimbursement rate is at least equal to the mileage reimbursement rate for government employees on official business. The bill also mandates timely processing of these allowances, requiring payments to be made within 90 days of a properly submitted request.
