RELIEVE Act
The RELIEVE Act changes eligibility rules for veterans seeking reimbursement for emergency medical treatment. It removes a requirement that veterans must have received prior VA care before the emergency, specifically for the first 60 days after enrolling in VA health care. This means veterans newly enrolled in VA health services will not need to prove prior treatment was received during their initial 60-day enrollment period to qualify for emergency reimbursement. The change applies to emergency care provided one year after the bill becomes law.
