The Veterans Legal Support Act of 2026 authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide funding to law school programs at universities that offer legal assistance to veterans. These programs would help veterans with a range of legal matters, including representing veterans in VA benefit appeals, helping them file and appeal VA benefit claims, and assisting with civil, criminal, and family law issues. The bill allocates $10 million per year for five years, from fiscal year 2027 through 2031, to support these university-based legal clinics. The legislation is designed to increase veterans' access to legal representation and expertise in navigating VA procedures and securing their earned benefits.
