Harry Teague: “I do not think that forcing a veteran to take money out of his pocket or her pocket while they are accessing benefits…”

It was my honor and pleasure to introduce this bill and I believe that this legislation will provide some needed relief for the families who care for our Nation's veterans.

Our constituents expect us to be responsible stewards of their tax dollars.

We have an obligation to help those who have defended our country by giving them the tools they need to rejoin the civilian workforce.

I would first like to applaud the Administration for proposing a budget that, for the first time, exceeds the amount requested by the Independent Budget of Veteran Service Organizations by at least $1 billion.
