Bill > HR1226

This bill, the Wounded Warrior Access Act, amends Title 38 of the United States Code to allow for the electronic request of certain records maintained by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, it requires the Secretary to establish and maintain a secure website or online tool for claimants or their representatives to submit electronic requests for such records, and mandates that the Secretary provide confirmation of receipt within 10 days and the requested records within 120 days. The bill also requires the Secretary to provide warnings to claimants about potential predatory practices by individuals seeking to act in violation of the law, and to provide information on how to report such individuals and how to search for recognized agents, attorneys, or other entities. The bill states that no additional funds are authorized to carry out these requirements.
