Widnall, the plan would extend government home loans to all veterans who served, with favorable down payments and the same 5.75 9.25 percent interest and 0.5 percent insurance fees as other FHA borrowers. The measure would raise in service loan limits to $30,000 and may face Senate modification while VA programs wind down.
