Vets ETA
HR 9934, the Veterans Earned Transportation Act (Vets ETA), amends existing law to clarify and streamline transportation benefits for veterans. It removes a specific limitation in Section 111A of Title 38, U.S. Code, which previously restricted transportation authorization to "vocational rehabilitation or counseling" services. The change broadens access by allowing the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide transportation "in connection with" these services without the prior restrictive wording. This technical amendment directly affects veterans receiving VA vocational rehabilitation or counseling, ensuring clearer administrative authority for transportation support.
