While veteran issues often get support from both parties, most bills introduced in the Senate never make it through the full voting process before the session ends.
Key Points
This bill creates a five-year test program to help veterans who have suffered a brain injury. It allows them to use money from an existing VA program that lets veterans manage their own care to pay for help from nonprofit groups that focus on helping former service members.
The program will start at five or more VA medical centers across the country within 180 days of the bill becoming law. It aims to give veterans more choices in how they receive help and who provides their daily care.
The VA will have to track how well the program works by looking at the health of the veterans and how happy they are with the services. They will send a report to Congress every year to show if the program is helping people.
