The Social Security Administration announced Wednesday that the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2027 will be 3.6%, so VA disability pay rates for 2027 also will increase by 3.6 percent. A veteran with a 100 percent service-connect disability rating and no dependents will receive $4,080.37 per month - up from $3,938.58 in 2026. The new VA rates will take effect December 1, 2026. Last year's COLA was 2.8%. Veterans do not have to take any action to receive the increase.

🇺🇸 AMVETS HAWAII AWARDED $683,905 VA SU***DE PREVENTION GRANT

AMVETS Hawaii is proud to announce that the AMVETS Hawaii Service Foundation has received a $683,905 FY27 award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs through the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Su***de Prevention Grant Program (SSG Fox SPGP).

This one-year grant will strengthen our community-based su***de prevention efforts across Honolulu County, with a goal of serving 150 Veterans through outreach, screening, case management, Veteran peer support, su***de-prevention education, stability support, and connections to VA and community resources.

The mission is especially important because VA’s FY27 Grantee Toolkit reports that 61% of Veterans who died by su***de in 2023 were not receiving VHA care in the year of, or year before, their death. SSG Fox SPGP_Grantee Toolkit_FY27.pdf

Our focus is simple: reach Veterans where they are, build trust before a crisis occurs, and make sure no Veteran has to navigate the path to support alone.

This work will bring Veterans, families, peer support, community organizations, and VA partners together to strengthen the network of support available in our community.

Read our full article below to learn more about the award and what it means for Hawaii’s Veterans.

VA announced today that it has processed more than 3 million disability claims in FY 2026 — topping last year’s record. Processing times were cut nearly in half over the past year.

While AMVETS welcomes the faster decisions, we continue pressing VA to improve accuracy, which had been declining. The accuracy rate climbed to 94% this year, the highest in two years. That is solid progress, but it is not the finish line.

VA must keep improving. AMVETS’ goal is at least 96% accuracy.

Veterans earned these benefits. They also earned decisions that are right the first time.
