The Senate is about to vote on a bill that would provide essential services to disabled pre-9/11 veterans. S. 2372, also known as the VA MISSION Act, is expected to be voted on as early as the week of May 21. S. 2372 would expand the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Comprehensive Family Caregiver Program to veterans injured in service before September 11, 2001.
This bill would also consolidate and reform VA's community care programs, as well as provide for the realignment and modernization of VA's health care infrastructure.
We need to support the #VAMISSIONAct and have the Senate vote YES on this bill to #CompleteTheMISSION. You can read more about the VA Comprehensive Family Caregiver Program and why its expansion greatly benefits veterans and caregivers here:
