Veterans' Access to Child Care Act

Bill 115 hr 95, also known as the Veterans' Access to Child Care Act, aims to provide child care services to veterans who are receiving medical treatment at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities. The bill recognizes that many veterans may have difficulty accessing necessary medical care due to lack of child care options, and seeks to address this barrier by offering child care services at VA facilities.

The bill outlines the eligibility criteria for veterans to receive child care services, including requirements such as being enrolled in VA health care and needing child care in order to attend medical appointments or receive treatment. It also establishes a pilot program to test the feasibility and effectiveness of providing child care services at VA facilities.

Additionally, the bill requires the VA to report to Congress on the implementation and outcomes of the pilot program, including data on the number of veterans served, the cost of providing child care services, and any barriers or challenges encountered. Overall, the Veterans' Access to Child Care Act aims to support veterans in accessing the medical care they need by addressing the issue of child care availability. It seeks to improve the overall well-being and health outcomes of veterans by ensuring they have the necessary support to attend medical appointments and receive treatment.
