VA Supplemental Funding Passes House and Senate
Please pass the following to the Department, Districts and Posts:
The House and Senate passed a bill on Thursday, to provide the necessary supplemental funding to address the VA Benefits Administration's $2.88 Billion budget shortfall this year. This will ensure upwards of 7 Million Veterans receive their earned benefits on 1 October. The effort to ensure Congress did the right thing and passed this funding was spearheaded by the VFW, with support of many other Veteran-related Organizations.
Members of the VFW National Legislative Team and your State Legislative Representatives brought this issue directly to the attention of every lawmaker on Capitol Hill, during our Fall Legislative Conference. It is important for Veterans, Families and concerned citizens to make their voices heard on Veteran-related matters. If we do not keep pressure on Congress, they will find it easy to ignore Veterans and take away earned benefits.
Make your voice heard, in support of our Veteran-related Legislation efforts and encourage others in your family and community to lend their support, by joining the VFW Action Corps.
