This bill sets a clear deadline for the government office that reviews certain benefit claims. It says the Bureau must tell a person if they qualify for benefits within 270 calendar days after getting their claim. The goal is to give people a timely answer, instead of leaving them waiting without a decision.

Key points:

Who is affected: People who file these benefit claims with the Bureau.
What changes: The Bureau must notify the claimant of their eligibility within 270 days of receiving the claim.
Why it matters: It helps claimants get a clear yes-or-no decision within a set time, reducing long delays.
