## Summary

**Establishes standardized, government-wide metrics for defining and measuring "veteran success."** The bill would create a National Veterans Strategy to align federal, state, local, nonprofit, and private efforts around those metrics and improve veteran well-being across seven domains. - Veterans and families: Would frame success across seven areas including physical and mental health, economic security, education, family and civic engagement so services target broad well-being rather than a single outcome. - Federal agencies and grant recipients: Would require agencies and entities receiving federal grants to use the standard metrics and to align programs and reporting with the Strategy as a condition of continued funding. - State, local, nonprofit, and private partners: Would obligate broad consultation and coordination and set sequencing and roles for which sector should deliver particular services. - Congress and oversight: Would give Congress a 60-day window to disapprove a submitted Strategy and require quadrennial updates and annual implementation reports to Congress. *Would not itself authorize new spending in the added section.*
