Key Points

This bill adds a new one-hour presentation to the mandatory classes service members take before they leave the military. This presentation will focus specifically on the benefits and healthcare they can get from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
To make sure the information is accurate and helpful, the VA must work with veteran service organizations to create the presentation. It must be a standard lesson used across all branches of the military and must be reviewed by Congress before it starts.
Whenever possible, representatives from veteran service organizations will help give the presentation. They will explain how they can help veterans file for benefits, but they are strictly forbidden from pressuring service members to join their specific group.
The goal is to make sure every person leaving the military knows exactly what help is available to them before they return to civilian life. The VA will also have to report to Congress every year on how many people attended these sessions and which groups helped lead them.
