Bills in committee

Status reflects the bill’s latest action on Congress.gov, which may be past this committee (e.g. a bill “Passed House, in Senate” has cleared this committee and chamber).

Jurisdiction

The House Committee on Veterans' Affairs is the authorizing committee for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The committee is responsible for recommending legislation expanding, curtailing, or fine-tuning existing laws relating to veterans' benefits. The Committee also has oversight responsibility, which means monitoring and evaluating the operations of the VA. If the Committee finds that VA is not administering laws as Congress intended, then it is addressed through the hearing process and legislation.
