Take Care of America’s Veterans Act

This bill makes a wide range of changes to benefits, health care, and services for veterans and their families. It updates disability pay rules so some retired veterans can receive both their military retirement pay and disability compensation at the same time, increases payments for surviving spouses, and creates extra monthly payments for certain disabled veterans. The bill also improves education and job training benefits, expands support for family caregivers, extends a suicide prevention grant program, and broadens mental health research at the VA. Additionally, it updates disability ratings for conditions like sleep apnea and tinnitus, makes more family members eligible for memorial headstones, sets standards for the Veterans Community Care Program, and addresses VA hiring and building needs.
