Stamp Out Veterans Medical Debt Act

Introduced·11/7/25

Stamp Out Veterans Medical Debt Act provides for a special postage stamp to help pay veterans' medical debt.

The Stamp Out Veterans Medical Debt Act mandates the U.S. Postal Service to issue a special postage stamp, the "Veterans Medical Debt Relief Stamp," to fund the payment of medical debt incurred by veterans. All proceeds from the stamp sales will be transferred to the Department of Veterans Affairs to pay down veteran medical debt from unresolved copayment and coinsurance billings. The stamp will be issued annually in time for Veterans Day and will not have a numerical limitation.
