WASHINGTON, DC – Today, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Mike Bost (R-Ill.), released the following statement after the Committee reported out 11 bills to be considered on the House Floor:

“Today, our Committee passed 11 eleven bills to deliver on our promise of improving the Transition Assistance Program, bolstering veteran and transitioning servicemember mental health initiatives, improving the delivery of education benefits to student veterans, fixing the survivor benefits process for veterans living with ALS and their caregivers, and modernizing the overall disability claims process,” said Chairman Bost. “With the influx of new veterans seeking care, benefits, and services following the passage of the PACT Act last year, it’s more important than ever to make sure this entire VA process is as straightforward and efficient as possible from start to finish. Which is why I am happy to see each of these bills marked up before the end of this year, and hope to see them considered in the House very soon.”
