Some of our most important work is conducted with the members of the House and Senate Committees on Veterans’ Affairs. These two panels have jurisdiction over veterans and survivor compensation programs, readjustment benefits for service members, VA medical care, the GI Bill and many other veteran-related programs. In short, virtually everything they do is of interest to our members. The Chairmen and Ranking Members for the two committees recently announced members who will be serving with them for the first session of the 116th Congress and we’ve listed them here for you.
