This bill mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to implement a two-year pilot program designed to enhance partnerships between the Department of Veterans Affairs and external entities. The program specifically encourages collaboration between veterans service organizations , which provide credentialed personnel for claims and appeals, and law schools offering pro bono legal assistance to veterans. The pilot program aims to assist veterans with filing disability claims and appeals, as well as addressing other legal needs. It will be carried out in states with the highest veteran populations, and the Secretary will establish guidelines to identify suitable participating organizations and institutions. Furthermore, the Secretary is directed to utilize social media to promote these partnerships and inform veterans about available services, and must submit quarterly reports to Congress detailing social media use and the number of veterans assisted.
