An Act fraudulent representation of an accredited veterans service officer, accredited agent or attorney

This bill prohibits unaccredited individuals or organizations from falsely representing themselves as veterans service officers, agents, or attorneys to assist veterans with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefit claims. It specifically bans charging fees for claim preparation, "consulting services," or soliciting applicants for VA benefits, and prohibits referring clients to unaccredited providers for compensation. Violations carry a $500 fine per offense, with proceeds funding veterans' outreach centers and homeless shelters. The law directly affects veterans seeking VA benefits and unaccredited representatives exploiting their vulnerability.
