What’s in it
This bill establishes a veterans service organization grant program under the administration of the department of veterans affairs for the purpose of providing matching funds to veterans service organizations, as defined in C.F.R. §14.628(c). The moneys must be used for employing staff who assist veterans with claims. The bill requires the department to adopt application procedures, forms, administrative guidelines, and other rules for implementing and administering the program. The bill creates a veterans service organization grant fund under the control of the department and appropriates $250,000 to the department for deposit in the fund.
