Direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to ensure veterans may obtain a physical copy of a form for reimbursement of certain travel expenses by mail or at medical facilities of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.

This bill makes it easier for veterans to get reimbursed for travel to VA medical care. It tells the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to offer a paper version of the travel reimbursement form and to accept that form in person or by mail at any VA medical facility. VA facilities must review the form and process the claim.

• Who is affected: Veterans seeking repayment for travel to VA appointments; VA medical facilities that handle these claims.
• What changes: Paper copies of the travel reimbursement form must be available by mail upon request and at any VA medical facility; veterans can submit the form in person or by mail to any VA medical facility; each facility must evaluate the form and process the claim. The form is VA Form 10-3452 (or a future version).
• When: The VA must set rules to make this happen; the text does not give a specific start date.
