Bill 119 HR 1793, also known as the "Veterans Training and Rehabilitation Outreach Act," aims to make changes to title 38 of the United States Code in order to improve outreach efforts for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) training and rehabilitation programs for veterans with service-connected disabilities. The bill includes provisions that require the VA to enhance its outreach efforts to ensure that veterans with service-connected disabilities are aware of and have access to the programs and services available to them.
Specifically, the bill mandates that the VA develop and implement a comprehensive outreach plan that includes targeted efforts to reach veterans with service-connected disabilities, including those who may be unaware of the programs and services available to them. The goal of these outreach efforts is to increase participation in VA training and rehabilitation programs and ultimately improve the quality of life for veterans with service-connected disabilities.
In addition to the outreach requirements, the bill also includes provisions that aim to improve the coordination and collaboration between the VA and other organizations that provide services to veterans with service-connected disabilities. This includes requiring the VA to work with state and local agencies, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure that veterans have access to a wide range of support services.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 1793 seeks to improve the effectiveness of VA training and rehabilitation programs for veterans with service-connected disabilities by enhancing outreach efforts and promoting collaboration with other organizations. By increasing awareness and access to these programs, the bill aims to better support the needs of veterans with service-connected disabilities and help them successfully transition back into civilian life.
