On the recordDecember 16, 2020
We simply cannot allow our veterans to fall into homelessness, end up jobless, or go without the basic services that they deserve. These challenges have only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. I am proud to lead the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act so that we can do right by our veterans during this pandemic and beyond. This legislation includes several of my bipartisan bills. It includes the Reducing Veteran Homelessness Act and the Homeless Veteran Coronavirus Response Act to lift veterans out of homelessness. It includes the Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer William ``Bill'' Mulder Transition Improvement Act to ease the transition to civilian life and help veterans build meaningful careers. It includes the Protect the GI Bill Act and the Pandemic Assistance for Student Veterans Act to help veterans make the most of their GI Bill benefits. It includes the Brian Tally VA Employment Transparency Act to protect veterans' legal rights. This legislation will make a real difference for veterans across the country, and I am proud of the bipartisan progress we are making today.
