WWII Cadet Nurses would get veteran recognition and some VA benefits.
This bill would recognize the service of women who were part of the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II. Their service would be considered active duty for certain Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, like headstones, and they would be honored as veterans after receiving an honorable discharge from the Defense Department.
Currently, women who served in the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II are not considered active duty for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. This bill would change that, making their service between July 1, 1943, and December 31, 1948, count as active duty for specific VA benefits, provided they receive an honorable discharge from the Secretary of Defense.
