Bill > HR5152

This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a program to automatically enroll members of the Armed Forces in benefits and services administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs for which they are eligible. The key provisions include: 1) the Secretary of Defense must identify the eligible benefits for each member, notify them of the benefits, and enroll them (with an option to opt-out); 2) the Secretary of Defense must notify the Secretary of Veterans Affairs 90 days before a member's separation, providing information about the member; 3) the Secretary of Veterans Affairs must then contact the member and provide materials on the eligible benefits; and 4) the Secretaries must establish a working group to address implementation challenges and provide a report to Congress. The bill aims to ensure a smooth transition for service members into veterans' benefits and services.
