PRESUME Act

In Committee
Summary
Bars proof of a specific radiation dose to qualify veterans as radiation-exposed. This bill would add a new paragraph to 38 U.S.C. 1112(c) that prevents the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from conditioning a veteran's radiation-exposed status on evidence that the veteran received a particular level or dose of radiation. The change is narrowly focused on removing a dose-threshold evidentiary requirement and does not create new programs or new eligibility categories.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Easier VA radiation proof for veterans
If enacted, VA would not be allowed to require a set radiation dose as proof. This would apply when deciding if you are a "radiation-exposed veteran" under 38 U.S.C. 1112(c). This could make it easier to qualify for VA benefits tied to radiation exposure. It would take effect upon enactment and would not change other eligibility rules.
