U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb. has co-introduced the Veterans Assistance Helpline Act. It would maintain a permanent helpline for veterans to quickly obtain information and assistance with all services from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
“We owe so much to our veterans for their sacrifice to protect our country and defend our freedoms. Unfortunately, too many veterans have difficulty navigating the VA and identifying which divisions to contact. The VA’s current main information line provides veterans with a single hub to access information about different VA contact centers. Our legislation will codify this resource to ensure veterans can maintain access to this critical tool and better connect with the resources available to them,” Fischer related.
Also in on the introduction was U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev.
