This bill would require the President to define what veteran success looks like across health, finances, education, family, and civic life. Every four years, the President would publish a written plan showing how federal agencies, states, tribes, schools, businesses, and nonprofits should work together to support veterans. The plan must address the different needs of veterans based on age, race, gender, disability, location, and other factors.
The President and federal agencies would be responsible for creating and following the plan. Veterans across the country would be the focus, along with state and local governments, tribal organizations, veterans groups, colleges, businesses, and nonprofits as partners.
Without a shared plan, federal agencies and other organizations may work toward different goals without coordination. This bill creates a structure for tracking progress and requiring agencies to align their budgets with the national plan.
