Bill > HR1793

This bill, known as the Veterans Readiness and Employment Transparency Act of 2025, aims to improve outreach and communication for Veterans Affairs (VA) training and rehabilitation programs for veterans with service-connected disabilities. The bill requires the VA to establish a dedicated telephone number within its Education Call Center for inquiries about vocational rehabilitation services and mandates that each regional office website include contact information for obtaining program details. Additionally, the bill requires veterans readiness and employment counselors to conduct monthly question and answer sessions and provide in-person or virtual informational briefings at educational institutions within their geographic area. The legislation also introduces an annual reporting requirement, compelling the VA to submit a comprehensive report to Congressional Veterans Affairs Committees detailing the number of veterans who request vocational rehabilitation program extensions, how many such requests are approved or rejected, and mandating that extension requests be processed within 30 days of submission. These provisions are designed to enhance transparency, accessibility, and responsiveness of vocational rehabilitation services for veterans with service-connected disabilities.
