| Higher Limits for VA Home Loan Program Veterans and their families now have a greater chance to make their dreams of home ownership a reality, thanks to an increase in the Department of Veterans Affairs home loan guaranty limit. Effective Jan. 1, changes in the loan guaranty limit means veterans will be able to get no- down payment loans up to $417,000. The previous ceiling was $359,650. The Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004 tied increases in the VA guaranty to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s conforming loan limit, allowing VA to keep pace with rising home values. VA guaranteed home loans are made by banks and mortgage companies to veterans, service members and reservists. With VA guaranteeing a portion of the loan, veterans can receive a competitive interest rate without making a down payment, making it easier to buy a home. |

| AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION SECTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW AND REGULATORY PRACTICE COUNCIL MINUTES THE RITZ-CARLTON HOTEL PLAZA BALLROOM WASHINGTON, D.C. * * OCTOBER 19, 2002 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon RESOLVED, The American Bar Association recommends, concerning adjudication and judicial review of veterans’ disability claims, that (1) because veterans are generally unrepresented by counsel at the administrative level, the U.S.Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“CAVC”), as a matter of general practice, should, a.) determine and decide all questions of law presented to it after appropriate briefing rather than refusing to resolve a legal claim not expressly argued before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (“BVA”); and b.) exercise its statutory authority to expedite VA decisions in appropriate cases when it remands a case for further administrative proceedings by VA. (2) Congress should, a.) promote the closure of claims by requiring the CAVC to resolve all dispositive allegations of error presented and briefed by an appellant that are capable of resolution, without regard to either issue preclusion or exhaustion; b.) authorize the CAVC to certify class actions and authorize the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to transfer a case to the CAVC in which class relief is warranted; and c.) require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to select members of the BVA through procedures that facilitate recruitment from outside the agency, modeled on the merit-based procedures used for the selection of federal administrative law judges and Board of Contract Appeals administrative judges. |
