HR 7100 United States House · 118th Congress

Prioritizing Veterans’ Survivors Act

HR 7100, the Prioritizing Veterans’ Survivors Act, clarifies that the Office of Survivors Assistance is part of the Office of the Secretary within the Department of Veterans Affairs, rather than being located within the Department itself. This procedural change updates the organizational structure of the VA by moving the office under direct Secretary oversight. The bill does not alter benefits, services, or eligibility for veterans' survivors but aims to streamline internal VA operations. It affects VA administrative processes, not the public or beneficiaries.

TECHNICAL
