New laws improve health care for veterans
President Biden signed nine bills that improve health care for veterans during a White House ceremony June 7 attended by staff members of The American Legion’s Washington, D.C., office.
Among the goals Biden laid out in his Unity Agenda during his first State of the Union address is supporting the nation’s veterans.
“Today, our administration is delivering on that agenda,” the president said. “In just a moment, I’ll be signing nine different bills with overwhelming bipartisan support that improve care for our veterans and honor their service and their sacrifice.”
The legislation calls for expanding veterans’ access to lifesaving breast cancer screenings and care, strengthening oversight by temporarily authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Office of Inspector General to issue subpoenas in certain circumstances, extending a program to compensate World War II veterans exposed to radiation and awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to Army Rangers of World War II.
FCC program puts affordable internet within reach for veterans
A new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program will bring fast, reliable internet access within financial reach to approximately 2.5 million veterans.
The FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides a discount of up to $30 each month for qualifying households and up to $75 monthly for qualifying households on tribal lands. Additionally, eligible households may receive a one-time discount to purchase a computer or tablet from participating providers.
Participating internet providers are offering eligible households high-speed internet plans for no more than $30 per month, making access for ACP-eligible households free when pairing the two benefits.
The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a non-profit veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. Legion Post 911 is a veterans and community service organization with over 300 members from the Wauconda area.
Whether you’re a veteran or your parents/grandparents were veterans, we welcome you to join us in the American Legion Family.
