Toxic Exposure in the American Military Act or the TEAM Act This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to expand health care, benefits, and resources for veterans with conditions related to exposure to toxic substances. Specifically, the bill expands eligibility for VA hospital care, medical services, and nursing home care to include veterans who (1) were exposed to toxic substances, radiation, or other conditions, and were awarded certain medals (e.g., the Armed Forces Service Medal); (2) are eligible for inclusion in the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry; or (3) have been identified by the Department of Defense to have been possibly exposed during service to an open burn pit, toxic substance, or specified hazardous sites. (A burn pit is an area used for burning solid waste in open air without equipment.) The bill establishes a presumption of service-connection for diseases associated with exposure to certain toxic substances and that become manifest within a certain time period; the VA must specify such diseases and requirements through regulations. Under a presumption of service-connection, specific conditions diagnosed in certain veterans are presumed to have been caused by the circumstances of their military service. Health care benefits and disability compensation may then be awarded. The bill also requires the VA to take specified actions to (1) evaluate scientific evidence regarding associations between diseases and exposure to toxic substances; (2) train its health care personnel on identifying, treating, and assessing illnesses related to such exposure; and (3) provide resources to veterans exposed to toxic substances.

United Spinal/VF Supports H.R 110.Care for the Veteran Caregiver Act. United Spinal/VF provided a statement of support Omnibus Veterans Bill PL 116-315 to House and Senate. CHAMPVA Childrens Protection Act - Young dependents of catastrophically disabled veterans can be covered for health insurance under this program operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs. When the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, CHAMPVA was not included in the provisions allowing dependents to remain on their parents insurance until age 26. As a result, young people on CHAMPVA are the only population of dependents that lose their coverage at age 22. It is critical that this inequity be corrected by enacting legislation similar to the CHAMPVA Childrens Protection Act (H.R. 1801/S. 727). Letter of support furnished to Rep. Brownley (CA) and Senator Brown (OH), sponsors of the CHAMPVA Children's Protection Act. United Spinal/VetsFirst supports the S. 444/ Senator Collins (ME) H.R. 1361 Rep. Meuser (PA)- AUTO For Veterans Act - Modernizing the VA Automobile Adaptive Grant program. United Spinal/VetsFirst seeks the enactment of legislation that authorizes comprehensive expansion of concurrent receipt of uniformed services retired pay and VA disability compensation, by expanding Concurrent Retirement and Disability Payments (CRDP) to beneficiaries with 20 or more years of service with less than 50 percent disability rating and all those medically retired with less 20 years of service (Chapter 61) who are not eligible for concurrent receipt. United Spinal/VetsFirst supports S. 344/Hr 1282- Major Richard Starr Act.

United Spinal/VF Supports H.R 110.Care for the Veteran Caregiver Act. United Spinal/VF provided a statement of support Omnibus Veterans Bill PL 116-315 to House and Senate. CHAMPVA Childrens Protection Act - Young dependents of catastrophically disabled veterans can be covered for health insurance under this program operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs. When the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, CHAMPVA was not included in the provisions allowing dependents to remain on their parents insurance until age 26. As a result, young people on CHAMPVA are the only population of dependents that lose their coverage at age 22. It is critical that this inequity be corrected by enacting legislation similar to the CHAMPVA Childrens Protection Act (H.R. 1801/S. 727). Letter of support furnished to Rep. Brownley (CA) and Senator Brown (OH), sponsors of the CHAMPVA Children's Protection Act. United Spinal/VetsFirst supports the S. 444/ Senator Collins (ME) H.R. 1361 Rep. Meuser (PA)- AUTO For Veterans Act - Modernizing the VA Automobile Adaptive Grant program. United Spinal/VetsFirst seeks the enactment of legislation that authorizes comprehensive expansion of concurrent receipt of uniformed services retired pay and VA disability compensation, by expanding Concurrent Retirement and Disability Payments (CRDP) to beneficiaries with 20 or more years of service with less than 50 percent disability rating and all those medically retired with less 20 years of service (Chapter 61) who are not eligible for concurrent receipt. United Spinal/VetsFirst supports S. 344/Hr 1282- Major Richard Starr Act.
