Veterans in U.S. territories and Freely Associated States without a VA facility would get travel money.
This bill would help veterans with disabilities from their military service. It would make them eligible for travel payments for VA medical care. This would help veterans in U.S. territories or Freely Associated States who do not have a VA medical facility nearby. They would get this help even if their disability rating is below 30%. Many veterans in these areas currently cannot get this travel assistance.
Today, veterans with service-connected disabilities can only get money for travel to VA medical appointments if their disability rating is 30% or higher. If this bill becomes law, veterans with service-connected disabilities living in U.S. territories or Freely Associated States without a local VA medical facility would get these travel payments, no matter their disability rating.
