Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to authorize pre-enrollment of certain combat service members of the Armed Forces in the system of annual patient enrollment of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Plain-language summary
This bill would let certain combat service members sign up for VA health care (the Veterans Affairs medical system) before they officially leave the military. Currently, veterans can only enroll after their military service ends. The bill amends federal veterans law to allow pre-enrollment for eligible active-duty combat troops. This would let them start the enrollment process while still serving. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and has bipartisan support from ten sponsors.
