Accountability for Veterans Act
Introduced Jan 28, 2025 by Rep. Josh Gottheimer
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to report to Congress on certain appeals, resources, and VA health care systems. Specifically, the report must address (1) the reasons why there is a backlog of appeals of claims for VA disability benefits; (2) ways to increase the amount of information, resources, and tools provided by the VA to individuals participating in the Transition Assistance Program of the Department of Defense; and (3) the management problems impacting one-star health care systems of the VA.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
