✆
In plain English
Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA) sponsored this bill to expand dental care eligibility for veterans enrolled in the VA health care system. The bill requires the VA to provide dental services to all enrolled veterans, replacing the current system that limits dental coverage to veterans with service-connected dental conditions or those meeting narrow criteria like prisoner of war status or Purple Heart recipients. Eligibility expands over four years based on factors including disability rating, financial need, and existing VA health care enrollment. The bill was referred to committee in May 2026.
