Veteran Benefits Guide

VBG applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Nevadan Sam Brown as the new head of cemetery and memorial affairs for the Department of Veterans Affairs. This is a vital role, and we commend Nevada Senators Senator Jacky Rosen and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto for their support in his confirmation. As VBG Co-founder and CEO Josh Smith stated, “Sam Brown is a proud and dedicated veteran... I’m confident he’ll do a fine job in this important role.” His 54-44 Senate vote underscores confidence in his leadership.

Former U.S. Navy Ombudsman Julie Ferland has a strong column in Blaze Media this week urging Congress and states to support legislation that protects Veterans while preserving their right to use regulated private benefit services. Ferland wrote: “In Rhode Island — my home state and possibly our future home — the legislature introduced the Save Act, a state-level version of the federal Choice Act. Both bills aim to expedite the benefits process by allowing veterans to hire certified consultants. Importantly, these measures would safeguard veterans from exploitation by setting payment caps, ensuring that providers have VA approval, and mandating that consultants only receive payment after veterans do. “Unfortunately, Rhode Island's legislature rejected the Save Act, instead passing a more restrictive bill that prohibits veterans from consulting experts during their initial claims for benefits. Despite this setback, momentum in several states and Congress to support veterans is encouraging… “It's past time for lawmakers and VA leadership to fulfill their obligations and put veterans first.” Read her full column here: https://lnkd.in/gGj-H3qn #VBGforVets
