VA Reform

On the Twenty Fourth of June 2017 President Trump enacted the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act to prevent the horrible neglect of US veterans. This marked justice and reform in the treatment of US veterans, our great veterans had been neglected and their treatment was shameful, an embarrassment to American society. Prior administrations had been complacent and allowed extraordinary abuses of veterans in the VA system. Millions of veterans had been put on lengthy waiting lists for basic medical treatment and every day services to meet their needs highlighting the need for VA Reform.

In addition to the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, on Twenty Third of August 2019 President Trump signed into law the Haven Act. The Haven Act received bipartisan support from both major political parties and was backed by many American organizations including the American Bankruptcy institute and the Association of the United States Navy.

The Act financially assists US veterans by excluding disability payments and disability benefits as income in the event of a bankruptcy means test based on monthly income received. In structuring of VA Reform the introduction of The Haven Act protects benefits such as permanent and temporary disability pay, disability severance pay, survivor benefit plan for chapter 61 Retirees VA- veterans pension and disability compensation and more.

“VA Accountability is essential to making sure veterans are treated with the respect they have so richly earned through their blood sweet and tears” President Donald J. Trump.
