Federal Legislation

DAV's Commander's Action Network

For almost a century, DAV has been advocating for better federal veterans programs, benefits, health care and transition services for the men and women who served, their families and survivors. DAV’s National Legislative Department takes the resolutions adopted by DAV members at our annual National Conventions to Congress to advocate for improved federal laws, regulations and policies of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other federal agencies whose programs support the veteran population. In the 115th Congress, a number of DAV’s key legislative priorities were enacted, including the historic VA MISSION Act, a bill to reform and strengthen the VA health care system and expand VA’s caregiver program to all eras of veterans. In addition, new legislation was approved to modernize the claims and appeals process, and improve earned benefits for veterans, their families and survivors.
