Veterans Assistance Helpline Act of 2024
The Veterans Assistance Helpline Act of 2024 requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to maintain a toll-free phone line for veterans and eligible individuals to access VA benefits and services. It ensures callers can speak with a live representative and allows the VA to contract with third parties to route calls to the correct office. The helpline directly serves veterans, people acting on their behalf, and others eligible for VA benefits under U.S. Code Title 38. This bill creates a new, centralized point of contact to simplify access to VA support without changing existing benefit eligibility or funding.
