I think our number one priority should be making sure the veteran is taken care of, not whether or not that claim is processed in a regional office.

While the employment situation for veterans continue to improve with veterans' unemployment being lower than nonveterans' unemployment, DOL will not rest as long as any veteran needs assistance finding meaningful civilian employment.
And so our bill, the PAWS Act, takes these veterans, particularly the ones that have severe Post-Traumatic Stress, and authorizes a small amount of funding so that the VA can pair them with specially trained service dogs.
We see a decline in opioid use. We see a decline in suicide. And I think that is obviously good for the veteran.
We continue to work to end homelessness among our veterans by providing services that help them establish a stable, long-term employment.
