HR 3644 United States House · 118th Congress

ACT for Veterans Act

HR 3644, the ACT for Veterans Act, extends the time veterans have to submit documentation for emergency care received outside VA facilities. It allows veterans (or their representatives) to get coverage for emergency treatment at non-VA medical providers without immediate paperwork, as long as notification is submitted within 96 hours after treatment. This change applies specifically to veterans needing emergency care in non-VA settings and modifies Section 1703 of Title 38, U.S. Code. The bill takes effect one year after enactment.
