The President signed into law S. 141, the “
Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act,” which amends various Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) authorities related to health care, economic opportunity, disability and memorial affairs, Veteran homelessness, and oversight and investigations. Among other requirements, the VA must establish a partnership with the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly and implement various programs (e.g., the Veteran Directed Care program) to expand access to home- and community-based services (HCBS).
