In late spring, leaders of the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees, Chairman Mike Bost (R-IL), Chairman Jon Tester (D-MT), and Ranking Member Jerry Moran (R-KS), announced the introduction of H.R. 8371, The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act. 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.

Provisions addressing PVA’s most important legislative goals, like eliminating the cap on how much VA can pay for home care and expanding access to VA home and community-based services, are in the bill. It would immediately save and improve lives.

Every major veterans organization supports immediate passage of the bill. 

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The bill was passed by the House on November 18 and will now come to the Senate floor for a vote. Please ask your Senators to vote "yes" and pass this important bill. Veterans, their families, their caregivers, and their survivors cannot wait any longer for its passage!
