AI Summary
This bill, the Veteran Readiness and Employment National Emergency Extended Deadline Act (VR&E NEED Act), amends Title 38 of the United States Code to provide an extension of the period of eligibility for the Department of Veterans Affairs' training and rehabilitation program for veterans with service-connected disabilities. The bill states that if a veteran is prevented from participating in the program due to a "covered reason," such as the temporary or permanent closure of an educational institution due to an emergency situation or another reason determined by the Secretary, the period of eligibility will not run during the time the veteran is prevented from participating and will begin running again at a date determined by the Secretary, which must be no earlier than the first day the veteran is able to resume the program and no later than 90 days after that day.
