WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman Abe Hamadeh (AZ-08) joined his colleagues on Veterans Day in passing the Take Care of America's Veterans Act (TCAVA), a comprehensive legislative package aimed at improving services and benefits for America's veterans and their families.

The legislation includes Congressman Hamadeh's H.R. 7103, the Improving Emerging Tech Opportunities for Veterans Act, along with more than 60 bipartisan veterans' priorities. The package seeks to strengthen veterans' health care services, expand benefits, increase support for survivors and caregivers, and improve the efficiency and accountability of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Congressman Hamadeh's office has received many bipartisan messages of support for the legislation, including support for directing the savings generated by streamlining many programs to instead be spent on important veterans' priorities.

“As a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I remain committed to protecting the benefits veterans have earned through their service while advancing responsible, bipartisan reforms that improve the VA's ability to serve America's veterans, their families, and survivors,” stated Congressman Hamadeh, a veteran U.S. Army officer. “I am proud of this vote today, but our work to improve services for veterans is not done. This fight continues.”

The legislation was supported by the Wounded Warrior Project, American Legion, AMVETS, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), MOAA, Elizabeth Dole Foundation, and Mission Roll Call.
