This legislation is a comprehensive bipartisan package of bills that expands services for veterans, their families, their caregivers, and their survivors across healthcare, education, benefits, and more.

Every major veterans service organizations supports the passage of this bill. However, it is entangled in a political struggle that has prevented it from being brought to the House floor for a vote.
