The bill requires the President to define what veteran success looks like across health, family, education, finances, and civic life. Every four years, a written National Veterans Strategy must be created with input from federal agencies, states, tribes, veterans groups, schools, businesses, and nonprofits. The strategy must include a way to measure whether programs are working, and Congress can reject any submitted strategy within 60 days.
Veterans of all backgrounds are the primary focus of this bill. Federal agencies, state and local governments, tribal organizations, colleges, businesses, and nonprofits that serve veterans are also directly affected.
Without a formal strategy, efforts to support veterans across many different organizations may lack coordination or shared goals. This bill creates a structure meant to align those efforts and make it easier to track whether they are working.
