Clear Communication for Veterans Claims Act

Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

Bill 119 hr 1039, also known as the "Veterans Notice Assessment Act," aims to improve the communication between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and veterans who are seeking benefits. The bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to work with a federally funded research and development center to assess the effectiveness of the notice letters that the VA sends to claimants for benefits.

The goal of this assessment is to ensure that the notice letters are clear, informative, and easy for veterans to understand. By working with a research and development center, the VA can gather data and feedback on how to improve these letters and better serve veterans who are navigating the benefits process.

In addition to assessing the notice letters, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to improving communication and transparency within the VA. This includes requirements for the VA to report to Congress on the results of the assessment and any actions taken to address the findings. Overall, the Veterans Notice Assessment Act seeks to enhance the VA's communication with veterans and ensure that they receive the information they need to access the benefits they have earned through their service.
