Veterans Legal Support Act of 2026

This bill authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide financial support to university law school programs that offer legal assistance to veterans. This initiative aims to enhance veterans' access to critical legal services across various domains.

Eligible programs would assist veterans with diverse legal needs, including representing them in Department of Veterans Affairs appeals and proceedings related to fiduciary appointments, filing and appealing benefit claims, and addressing other civil, criminal, and family legal matters as deemed appropriate by the Secretary. To fund these vital initiatives, the bill authorizes an appropriation of $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
