Bill > HR1228

This bill seeks to make a minor technical change to the organization of the Office of Survivors Assistance within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Specifically, the bill modifies Section 321(a) of Title 38 of the United States Code by changing the language from "in the Department" to "in the Office of the Secretary". This adjustment clarifies the administrative placement of the Office of Survivors Assistance, positioning it more explicitly within the VA Secretary's office rather than just broadly within the department. While seemingly small, such organizational clarifications can help ensure clearer reporting structures and potentially improve administrative oversight of this office, which is responsible for supporting and advocating for survivors of veterans. The bill's straightforward amendment aims to provide greater precision in defining the office's organizational location within the VA's administrative structure.
