VA would hire new cancer care coordinators to help women veterans navigate breast and gynecologic cancer treatment.
This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to hire new care coordinators across the country within one year. These coordinators would help women veterans with breast or gynecologic cancer navigate their care, especially when using non-VA doctors. It would also extend a deadline for certain pension payment limits by 10 months.
Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) does not have dedicated regional staff to coordinate care for women veterans with breast or gynecologic cancer, especially when they use outside doctors. This bill would require the VA to hire or designate a care coordinator in each region within one year to improve this coordination. Also, existing limits on certain veteran pension payments are set to expire on November 30, 2031, but this bill would extend that deadline to September 30, 2032.
