Issues Veterans Benefits

Veterans can face a daunting process when trying to obtain the benefits they have earned. I am committed to helping all veterans navigate through this process and helping them learn about and receive the benefits to which they are entitled.

I have introduced legislation to improve outreach programs by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and ensure that all veterans have access to the same transition services as they move from active duty to civilian life. I am also a strong supporter of legislation to allow military retirees with service-connected disabilities to concurrently receive military retirement pay and disability compensation from the VA.

Congress’s commitment to providing the best possible benefits to our veterans is more important than ever as an increasing number of troops return from Iraq, Afghanistan, and across the globe.
