Veterans' issues often get support from both parties, but many bills still get stuck in committee before they can be voted on.

Key Points

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to send a report to Congress every year explaining why and how veterans are dying. This information would help officials understand the health challenges facing those who served in the military.
Each report will list the primary and secondary causes of death for veterans. It will also track whether the veteran had a disability related to their service that was rated as total, which often affects the benefits their families receive.
By collecting this data, lawmakers hope to identify trends in veteran health and improve the support systems available to former service members and their families.
This new reporting requirement would last for five years. After that time, Congress would need to decide whether to continue the program based on how helpful the information has been.
