S. 2101: Delivering Digitally to Our Veterans Act of 2025

The bill titled "Delivering Digitally to Our Veterans Act of 2025" proposes changes to the way the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) communicates with eligible veterans regarding educational assistance benefits. The main points of the bill are as follows:

Electronic Correspondence

The bill mandates that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs establish a system that allows eligible veterans and other individuals to:

• Send and receive correspondence electronically: Veterans will have the option to communicate with the VA regarding their educational assistance benefits via electronic means rather than traditional mail.
• Opt into electronic communication: Eligible veterans will be given the opportunity to choose whether they want to receive and send information electronically. This includes communication about their entitlement to and use of educational assistance benefits.
• Notification of options: The VA is required to inform eligible veterans and individuals who are currently enrolled in educational programs about their option to switch to electronic correspondence.

Purpose and Benefits

The intention behind the bill is to streamline communication for veterans and improve access to important information related to their educational benefits. By implementing a digital communication system, the VA aims to reduce reliance on paper mail, potentially leading to quicker responses and a more efficient process for veterans seeking assistance.

Implementation

The bill does not specify particular technologies to be used or outline specific timelines for the implementation of this electronic communication system, leaving those details to be determined by the VA. However, it emphasizes the need for availability and accessibility in the communication process for eligible veterans.
