S 897 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Expedite Veteran Appeals Act of 2023

S 897, the Expedite Veteran Appeals Act of 2023, increases the permanent number of judges serving on the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims from seven to nine. This change directly affects veterans whose appeals are processed through this court, aiming to reduce delays in resolving their claims. The key provision is a straightforward staffing adjustment in Title 38 of the U.S. Code, adding two permanent judicial positions. This policy change focuses on improving processing capacity without altering the appeals process itself.
