The Veterans Earned Transportation Act would make permanent the Department of Veterans Affairs' authority to provide transportation to and from VA facilities for veterans participating in vocational rehabilitation or counseling services. Currently, this transportation benefit operates under temporary authority that requires periodic renewal. The bill, introduced in October 2024, would remove the time limitation and make the program a permanent fixture of VA services. This change affects veterans using VA vocational rehabilitation and counseling programs by ensuring continued access to transportation assistance without future legislative action. The bill does not specify new funding amounts, as it simply extends an existing authority rather than creating a new program.
