Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
This bill, called the Delivering Digitally to Our Veterans Act of 2025, makes it easier for veterans and eligible family members to handle VA education benefits online. It tells the VA to offer an opt-in way to send and receive messages about these benefits by text, online chat, and other electronic tools, not just by mail. The VA must also tell people enrolled in education or training that they can choose this option. The VA’s “Solid Start” outreach is updated to use more than phone calls and mail, adding texts, virtual chats, and other electronic messages to reach veterans early and more effectively .
The bill also extends an existing limit on certain VA pension payments through January 31, 2033.
