This bill, the Mark O'Brien VA Clothing Allowance Improvement Act, amends Title 38 of the United States Code to improve the application and review process for veterans' clothing allowance claims at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Key provisions include automatically renewing clothing allowance payments on an annual basis until a veteran elects to stop receiving them or the VA determines the veteran is no longer eligible.
