H.R. 1228: Prioritizing Veterans’ Survivors Act
This bill, titled the Prioritizing Veterans’ Survivors Act, aims to amend a specific section of U.S. law regarding the organization of the Office of Survivors Assistance, which is part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Currently, the Office of Survivors Assistance is positioned within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The proposed change will relocate this office's organizational structure to be directly under the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.The main purpose of this amendment is to clarify the administrative structure of the Office of Survivors Assistance, ensuring that it operates under the direct oversight of the Secretary. This change could be intended to enhance the effectiveness and responsiveness of services provided to veterans’ survivors, emphasizing the need for a more streamlined and focused approach in that area.The bill does not impose new mandates or financial implications; rather, it seeks to reorganize existing administrative functions within the VA to potentially improve service delivery to survivors of veterans.
