WATCH: How a new mega bill could increase benefits for veterans and their families
A bill that would be the largest expansion of benefits in years for military veterans and their family members is in legislative limbo in Congress. The Take Care of America’s Veterans Act is an omnibus bill that combines 62 pieces of bipartisan legislation into one bill.
Some of these bills have been pending in Congress for years and lawmakers hope to push them over the finish line by combining them into one bill. But, this legislative push does not come without controversy.
PBS News’ Cecilia Lallmann spoke with Doug Lindsey, Deputy Editor at Military.com, to break down the major provisions in the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act.
