Bill > S4975

This bill, the Veterans Claims Education Act of 2022, aims to promote assistance from entities recognized by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) for individuals who file certain claims under laws administered by the VA. The key provisions include: 1) Requiring the VA to provide notice to claimants who are not represented by an "accredited entity" (a veterans service organization or an attorney/agent recognized by the VA) that such entities may assist them and providing information on how to access a search tool and report any fees charged by unaccredited entities; and 2) Requiring the VA to include information on its websites about fees that agents or attorneys may charge for assisting in filing claims, as well as links to the search tool and a website to report unaccredited entities.
