Bill information
Summary
To amend title 38, United States Code, to provide for the retroactive payment of benefits for veterans with covered mental health conditions based on military sexual trauma, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change federal veteran benefits law to pay veterans retroactively for mental health benefits they should have received earlier. The benefits cover veterans whose mental health conditions resulted from military sexual trauma—unwanted sexual contact or harassment that happened during military service. The bill applies to veterans who were denied or delayed these benefits in the past. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is in the early stage of consideration.
