AI Summary
This bill, the Veterans Disability Claims Notification Improvement Act of 2021, amends Title 38 of the United States Code to authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to send electronic notice to claimants, instead of requiring physical mail. It allows claimants or their representatives to elect to receive such electronic notices and revoke that election at any time. The bill also requires the Secretary to annually solicit recommendations from stakeholders on how to improve the notice process and publish those recommendations online. Additionally, it updates the language in several existing sections of Title 38 to use the broader term "issued" instead of "mailed" when referring to the delivery of notices and decisions to claimants.
