To amend title 38, United States Code, to improve the automobile assistance program for disabled veterans.

Authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, in providing automobile purchase assistance to certain service-disabled veterans, to: (1) make a payment to the lender of the automobile loan, rather than to the seller of the car; and (2) provide such assistance directly to a veteran after such veteran purchases a car if the Secretary determines the veteran did not apply in a timely manner due to a lack of knowledge of such assistance.
