Creates a program to help eligible veterans with specific health needs get service dogs.
This bill would create a pilot program for the Department of Veterans Affairs to give money to nonprofit groups. These groups would then provide service dogs to eligible veterans with specific health conditions. The bill also extends the deadline for certain limits on veterans' pension payments.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs does not have a pilot program to award grants to nonprofit organizations for providing service dogs to veterans. Also, certain limits on veterans' pension payments are set to expire on November 30, 2031. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Veterans Affairs would establish a pilot program to give competitive grants to nonprofit groups to provide service dogs to eligible veterans, and the expiration date for certain limits on veterans' pension payments would be extended to February 28, 2033.
