Vets Connect Act

Introduced·1/21/26

The Vets Connect Act mandates the creation of a secure database and messaging platform for veterans to reconnect with their service peers.

The Vets Connect Act requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a secure, privacy-preserving database and messaging platform for veterans to reconnect with their service peers. The platform will only include essential service-based matching information, such as branch of service, units, dates of service, deployments, occupational specialty, and rank. Personal contact information will not be stored, displayed, or retrievable unless the veteran opts in.
