Bill > S3818

This bill, titled the "Ensuring Benefits for Disabled Veterans Act," aims to remove a restriction that prevents disabled veterans from receiving benefits from both the Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program and other educational assistance programs offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Specifically, it repeals subsection (b) of section 3695 of title 38 of the United States Code, which is the current law that imposes this limitation, and then renumbers the subsequent subsection to maintain the correct legal structure. The VR&E program, formerly known as Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, helps veterans with service-connected disabilities prepare for, find, and keep suitable employment, or to achieve independence in their daily living. By removing this limitation, the bill intends to allow eligible disabled veterans to access a broader range of support from the VA to aid their transition to civilian life and employment.
