754: The Modernizing Veterans' Healthcare Eligibility Act Background: There are currently about 19 million veterans in the United States.

Approximately 9 million of those veterans are enrolled in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system and a little over 7 million of them actively use the VA healthcare system regularly.

A veteran’s eligibility to enroll in the VA healthcare system is governed by eight enrollment priority groups.
Those priority groups were created by Congress in the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996 [Public Law No: 104-262] to prioritize VA care for veterans with service-connected conditions and veterans whose income is below certain income thresholds.

Congress has acted intermittently since then to provide limited eligibility to certain other groups of veterans (most recently for example, combat era veterans).
However, there has been no comprehensive changes to the priority group system since 1996.

In 2015, the bipartisan Commission on Care noted that “substantial changes have occurred since Congress last comprehensively examined eligibility for [VA] care” and recommended that an expert panel be convened to examine eligibility structure and recommend changes.
The Modernizing Veterans' Healthcare Eligibility Act would create a bipartisan commission to assess veterans’ eligibility for care within VA and make recommendations for how such eligibility determinations could be revised and simplified for the next generation of veterans.

VA would be required to implement those recommendations made by the commission that VA deems appropriate, and to determine which actions would require legislation from Congress.
The commission would be fully bipartisan and comprised of 15 commissioners appointed by the President, the Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate, and the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives.

At least 6 commissioners would be veterans themselves, while others would be experts in the delivery of care in VA, in the federal government, and in the private sector.

The Message: • It’s been a quarter century since Congress created the current VA healthcare eligibility system.
• Today and tomorrow’s veterans deserve a VA healthcare system that is designed to meet their needs.

• The Modernizing Veterans' Healthcare Eligibility Act would create a bipartisan panel of veterans and healthcare industry experts to recommend how veteran eligibility to enroll in the VA healthcare system could be updated, simplified, and improved to make sure that all those who have served receive the earned care they have earned.

Military Dependents School Meal Eligibility Act Reps. Mike Levin (D-CA), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Sanford Bishop (D-GA), and Richard Hudson (R-NC) introduced the Military Dependents School Meal Eligibility Act to ensure that children of active duty servicemembers have access to school meal programs.

 Background There is a significant gap between the number of military families that report food insecurity and those who have access to nutrition assistance programs.
Over 60 percent of military families report feeling stress from their financial situation, and nearly one in seven military families report experiencing food insecurity.1 In recent years, only 1.5 percent of the active force received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.2 Federal programs such as National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) provide millions of low-income children with school breakfasts and lunches every day.
However, multiple barriers keep military families from participating in these programs.

Participants qualify based on family income, but servicemembers’ housing allowance is considered income and pushes them out of eligibility.
Military families also frequently relocate, and additional applications and paperwork dissuade families from applying.3 Access to food security programs would support children’s success in schools, alleviate financial stress for military families, and allow active duty servicemembers to focus on serving our nation.
 Legislation The Military Dependents School Meal Eligibility Act would:  Eliminate basic allowance for housing (BAH) from the calculation of military income, ensuring more military families have access to free- and reduced-price school meals.

 Qualify almost all children of entry-level, active duty servicemembers for lunch programs, up through ranks E-6.
 Enable the Department of Defense (DoD) to share family eligibility with school districts,  for families to directly certify for free or reduced-price school meals.

Increase the percentage of directly certified students in schools, making schools more eligible for the community eligibility provision, which offers free meals to all students.

 Reduce food insecurity for military families and improve the health and academic outcomes for military children.
