The House of Representatives is expected to vote early this week on a roughly $3 billion veterans supplemental funding bill.

It comes as Congress is barreling toward an Oct. 1 partial government shutdown deadline with no agreement between Republicans and Democrats on federal spending in the next fiscal year .

A failure to pass the added funds by Sept. 20 could mean that 7 million veterans could be left without benefits.
