Bill > S812

This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to implement regulations ensuring veterans can easily obtain and submit a physical copy of VA Form 10-3452 (a travel expense reimbursement form) through two primary methods: by requesting a copy via mail or by obtaining a physical form directly at any Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facility. The bill requires that when a veteran submits this form to a VA medical facility, either in person or by mail, the facility must evaluate the form and process any associated reimbursement claim. The primary purpose of this legislation is to improve accessibility for veterans seeking reimbursement for travel expenses related to medical care, making it more convenient for veterans to obtain and submit the necessary documentation. By mandating multiple ways to access the form and ensuring consistent processing at medical facilities, the bill aims to simplify the travel expense reimbursement process for veterans.
