AI Summary
This bill, the Veteran Readiness and Employment National Emergency Extended Deadline Act of 2021 (VR&E NEED Act of 2021), proposes to amend Title 38 of the United States Code to extend the period of eligibility for the Department of Veterans Affairs' training and rehabilitation program for veterans with service-connected disabilities.
