Veterans in certain Pacific islands would get more VA health services and travel pay
Veterans in Freely Associated States would get new health services like telehealth and mail-order prescriptions from the VA. The bill would also make sure that if the VA pays for any veteran travel, all eligible veterans would get those payments. This changes how the VA provides care and travel support to these veterans.
Today, the VA has a choice about paying for veteran travel, and comprehensive health services like telehealth and mail-order pharmacy are not explicitly required for veterans in the Freely Associated States. This bill would require the VA to provide these specific health services to veterans in those states and would make beneficiary travel payments mandatory if the VA makes any such payments in a government's budget year.
