What it does
The Caring for Veterans Affairs Secretary would be required to provide telehealth and mail-order pharmacy benefits to eligible veterans in the Freely Associated States within one year of the bill’s enactment, and to make beneficiary travel payments under specified conditions. The bill also mandates quarterly reports to Congress on implementation status and costs, and extends a pension payment limit deadline from January 31, 2033, to March 31, 2033. These changes affect veterans residing in the Freely Associated States and modify existing provisions in title 38 of the United States Code.
