U.S. Vets of the FAS Act

This bill, titled the "U.S. Vets of the FAS Act," mandates that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) work quickly with the governments of the Freely Associated States to establish agreements for providing health services to veterans. These agreements must ensure the provision of essential services, specifically including telehealth services and the delivery of pharmaceutical products by mail to eligible veterans in those regions. The legislation sets clear implementation deadlines for the VA Secretary, requiring outreach to each government within 30 days of enactment. The VA must aim to finalize these agreements and begin furnishing the specified health and pharmacy services within one year of the bill's enactment, to the maximum extent practicable. Furthermore, the bill amends existing law to ensure that if the Secretary exercises authority to make beneficiary travel payments in any fiscal year, such payments must be made. It also requires the Secretary to submit quarterly reports to Congress detailing the implementation progress and costs, including any factors impeding the establishment of agreements or service delivery.
