This bill, titled the TAP Promotion Act , amends title 10, United States Code, to integrate representatives from veterans service organizations (VSOs) into preseparation counseling under the Department of Defense's Transition Assistance Program (TAP) . The primary goal is to promote benefits available to veterans more effectively by allowing VSOs to directly engage with service members before their separation. The legislation mandates a standardized presentation , which must be reviewed and approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in collaboration with VSOs that provide claims assistance. This presentation, subject to congressional review, will include participation from VSO representatives or authorized individuals to explain benefits and how VSOs can assist with claims, while explicitly prohibiting endorsement of any specific organization and limiting its duration to one hour. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to submit an annual report to Congress. This report must identify participating VSOs, detail the number of service members attending these presentations, and include any recommendations for program improvements.
