The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act
And What It Means for You
The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act is an omnibus veterans bill, meaning it contains a series of proposals focused on veterans. Many of the key sections in the bill were previously introduced in Congress, such as the similarly named Elizabeth Dole Home Care Act but are now combined under this one comprehensive bill.
What does the Bill Include?
The omnibus bill focuses on proposals that would enhance and reform the delivery of services at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by prioritizing veterans, their families, their caregivers, and their survivors. Several of the proposals are endorsed by Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) and represent key legislative priorities for the organization this year.
The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act contains nearly 100 sections across six titles, or headings, ranging from health care and benefits to homelessness and VA oversight.
Key Sections
The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act is expected to pass Congress this summer. WWP™ will actively monitor the legislation and alert warriors if grassroots action is needed to ensure its passage.
