Today, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Mike Bost (R-Ill.), released the following statement after the House passed seven bipartisan veterans’ bills this week:

“I am proud to see the House advance six bipartisan bills this week for veterans and their families. Each of these bills will cut through the bureaucratic red tape and get veterans their benefits faster. Including a commonsense bill to cut down on the legal jargon in the disability claims process, and another bill to allow veterans to use their education benefits in the best way that works for them and their family. These are solutions that make a real difference in veterans’ day to day lives,” said Chairman Bost. “I want to thank Rep. Barrett, Rep. Van Orden, Rep. Ciscomani, Rep. LaLota, and Del. Moylan for their leadership on these bills to make VA work better for the veterans, their families, and their survivors it serves.”

The following bills were passed out of the House this week:

H.R. 1228 – Prioritizing Veterans' Survivors Act (Rep. Ciscomani)
