S 1311 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Clear Communication for Veterans Claims Act of 2025

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to hire an independent research center to assess the clarity and paper use of notices sent to veterans filing claims. The assessment must determine how to make notices clearer, better organized, and more concise while reducing paper consumption and government costs. The VA must implement approved recommendations within one year and report the findings to Congress. This directly affects veterans receiving claims notices and the VA’s communication processes, focusing on improving written communication without changing benefit eligibility or amounts.
