Require the VA to provide every veteran with a plain-language Bill of Rights

Jefferson Van Drew introduced the Veterans Bill of Rights Act with Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. The proposed bill would require the VA to give every veteran a comprehensive Bill of Rights, in print and online, explaining benefits and services in plain language. It would codify rights covering fair treatment, privacy, timely health care, mental health and family support, housing and job assistance, education benefits, and transparency in claims and appeals.

Context: The bill is a proposal, not an enacted requirement.

In their own words

which would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide every veteran with a clear, straightforward Veterans Bill of Rights
