## Summary

**Codify a clear Veterans' Bill of Rights** and require the Department of Veterans Affairs to actively inform veterans about those rights and set duties for VA staff to promote transparency and grievance redress. - Veterans and families would get a single, enumerated list of 10 rights to know about, including access to VA or VA-authorized care, informed consent, privacy, clear information on benefits, the right to file grievances, and the right to appeal adverse decisions. - VA employees and facilities would face new implementation duties. The Secretary would have to fold the rights into all VA policies and patient materials, provide annual training for every Department employee, prominently display the rights at facilities, and require each VA medical facility to name a patient advocate or ombudsman to run annual compliance audits and veteran satisfaction surveys. - Service members leaving the military and other users would see rights added to transition training and digital tools. The bill would direct the VA to coordinate a Transition Assistance Program module with Defense and Labor and make the rights prominent in the VA mobile app and the eBenefits portal within 180 days.
