The U.S. House of Representatives, with contributions from RepDeliaRamirez, RepChuckEdwards, RepGerryConnolly, RepTonyGonzales, and RepCiscomani, recently passed several bills aimed at improving access to benefits and services for veterans. These measures include the VA CDL Act, spearheaded by RepChuckEdwards, which eliminates bureaucratic obstacles for veterans seeking to use their GI Bill benefits for commercial driver-education programs. Another bill, the Student Veteran Benefit Restoration Act, championed by RepDeliaRamirez, passed with bipartisan support, aims to restore benefits for student veterans. Additionally, legislation co-authored by RepGerryConnolly and RepCiscomani was approved to facilitate financial restitution for veterans who are victims of fraud. These legislative actions demonstrate a commitment to reducing the bureaucratic challenges faced by veterans and improving their access to deserved benefits.
In the event our veterans are defrauded of their hard-earned benefits, the last thing they should face is the burden of bureaucratic red tape. I am thrilled to see @GerryConnolly and my bipartisan legislation H.R. 4016, Veterans Fraud Reimbursement Act, PASS the House today. https://t.co/epROGKd8ck

No veteran should be barred from receiving their promised benefits. I'm thrilled the VA is shifting years of antiquated, homophobic, & discriminatory regulations.
