The Gaining Meaningful Experiences from Service Act, or GAMES Act , aims to broaden access for veterans to a specific military adaptive sports program. Its primary objective is to amend existing law to remove a significant eligibility restriction. Specifically, the bill strikes the phrase ", during the one-year period following the veteran's date of separation," from section 2564a of title 10, United States Code. This legislative change eliminates the current one-year post-separation time limit , thereby allowing veterans to participate in the adaptive sports program regardless of how long they have been separated from military service. The expansion of eligibility is intended to provide more veterans with the opportunity to engage in these beneficial programs.
