GAMES Act
The GAMES Act expands eligibility for the military adaptive sports program to include veterans who have served in the armed forces, regardless of whether they are currently within one year of separation from service. This change removes the previous time restriction that limited program access to only those who separated from the military within the past year. The bill directly affects veterans who wish to participate in adaptive sports but may have served more than a year ago. By amending Title 10 of the United States Code, the legislation broadens the pool of eligible participants without altering the core structure of the program.
