Summary
A bill to amend title 28, United States Code, to make certain improvements relating to the eligibility of veterans to receive reimbursement for emergency treatment furnished to veterans in non-Department of Veterans Affairs facilities, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The RELIEVE Act amends federal law to improve how veterans can get reimbursed for emergency medical care at hospitals and facilities outside the Veterans Affairs system.
