Introduced·1/28/25

RELIEVE Act amends eligibility for veterans' emergency treatment reimbursement under the Veterans Community Care program.

The RELIEVE Act, or Removing Extraneous Loopholes Insuring Every Veteran Emergency Act, amends title 38 of the United States Code to improve eligibility for reimbursement for emergency treatment provided to veterans through the Veterans Community Care program. Specifically, it removes the requirement for veterans to have received prior care if the emergency treatment was provided within 60 days of their enrollment in the health care system. This change aims to ensure that veterans receive necessary emergency care without administrative barriers.
