What’s happening with Helping Heroes Act?
The Helping Heroes Act, known as H.R. 2077, sits in the House Subcommittee on Health as of March 30, 2025. Members of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs must act next to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because committees do not hold a vote. This proposal has seen no recorded action since March 30, 2025, and historical data shows that committee inaction is the most common reason for a bill to end.
