Chamber: United States House of Representatives (The United States of America)
**Removing Extraneous Loopholes Insuring Every Veteran Emergency Act or the RELIEVE Act**
This bill expands eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reimbursement of emergency treatment for veterans who are treated in a non-VA facility. Specifically, the bill waives the requirement that a veteran must have received VA care within the 24-month period preceding the furnishing of emergency treatment if the veteran receives such emergency treatment within the 60-day period following their enrollment in the VA health care system.
