Summary of Bill HR 1671

Bill 119 hr 1671, also known as the "COVID-19 Vaccine Service-Connection Act," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code to establish a presumption of service-connection for certain diseases associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. This means that veterans who experience these specified diseases within one year of receiving the vaccine will be eligible for benefits and compensation through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

The bill recognizes the potential risks and side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine and seeks to ensure that veterans who may suffer from related illnesses are properly cared for. By establishing a presumption of service-connection, the burden of proof is shifted from the veteran to the VA, making it easier for affected individuals to access the support they need.

In addition to providing benefits for vaccine-related illnesses, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to veterans' healthcare and well-being. This legislation demonstrates a commitment to supporting and protecting the health of our nation's veterans, particularly in the face of a global pandemic. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1671 represents a proactive and compassionate approach to addressing the potential health impacts of the COVID-19 vaccine on veterans. It underscores the importance of ensuring that those who have served our country receive the care and support they deserve.
