Summary of Bill S 585

Bill 119 s 585, also known as the "Veterans' Pre-Transition Health Care Registration Act," aims to make it easier for members of the Armed Forces who are preparing to separate from the military to enroll in the Department of Veterans Affairs' patient enrollment system. The bill proposes the establishment of a pre-transition health care registration process, which would allow service members to sign up for VA health care before they officially leave the military.

The main goal of this legislation is to streamline the enrollment process for veterans and ensure that they have access to the health care services they need as soon as they transition out of the military. By enrolling in the VA's patient enrollment system before leaving the Armed Forces, veterans can avoid potential gaps in coverage and receive timely and comprehensive care.

In addition to establishing the pre-transition health care registration process, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to improving veterans' access to health care services. Overall, Bill 119 s 585 seeks to support and prioritize the health and well-being of our nation's veterans as they transition from military service to civilian life.
