RELIEVE Act
The RELIEVE Act modifies veterans' access to emergency care reimbursement under VA law. It removes the requirement for veterans to have previously received VA care before qualifying for emergency treatment reimbursement during the first 60 days after enrolling in the VA healthcare system. This change directly affects new VA enrollees seeking emergency medical care within that initial 60-day window, eliminating a prior barrier to immediate coverage. The amendment applies to emergency treatment provided one year after the bill's enactment date.
