DAV Resolution 242
Senator Bill Cassidy (LA), a member of the Senate Veterans'
Affairs Committee, introduced S. 1261, the Veterans Emergency Room Relief Act
of 2017. This bill would require VA to
contract with community urgent care providers and pay reasonable costs for such
care provided to veterans who are enrolled in the VA health care system and
have received care in the system within the preceding two years.
It would also establish cost-sharing amounts for certain
veterans receiving care at a VA emergency room.
However, veterans who are hospitalized as a result of their urgent care
visit and veterans seeking care for a service-connected condition in addition
to veterans meeting criteria for hardship exceptions would be exempt from
copayments.
DAV Resolution 242 calls upon Congress to authorize urgent
care as part of VA's basic health benefits package. Please write your Senators and urge their
co-sponsorship and support for passage of S. 1261.
Thank you for your continued efforts and participation in
the DAV Commander's Action Network.

Online PX Privileges - Beginning 11 Nov 2017
STARTING next month, all Honorably Discharged vets will have
on-line PX privileges.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13, 2017 — The Defense Department announced
today that veterans will soon be able to shop online at military exchanges. The policy change will extend limited online military
exchange shopping privileges to all honorably discharged veterans of the
military, DoD officials said in a news release. The shopping benefit will be
effective this Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2017.
While shopping privileges exclude the purchase of uniforms, alcohol and
tobacco products, it includes the Exchange Services’ dynamic online retail
environment known so well to service members and their families, the release
said. The change follows careful analysis, coordination and strong public
support, officials said in the release.
“We are excited to provide these benefits to honorably
discharged veterans to recognize their service and welcome them home to their
military family,” said Peter Levine, performing the duties for the
undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. “In addition, this initiative represents a
low-risk, low-cost opportunity to help fund morale, welfare and recreation
programs in support of service members’ and their families’ quality of life.
And it’s just the right thing to do,” Levine added. The online benefit will also strengthen the
exchanges’ online businesses to better serve current patrons. Inclusion of
honorably discharged veterans would conservatively double the exchanges’ online
presence, according to DoD officials, thereby improving the experience for all
patrons through improved vendor terms, more competitive merchandise assortments
and improved efficiencies. “As a nation,
we are grateful for the contributions of our service members,” Levine said.
“Offering this lifetime online benefit is one small, tangible way the nation
can say, ‘Thank you’ to those who served with honor.”
The Army, Air Force and Navy exchange will start allowing
all honorably discharged veterans to shop online, (think Amazon, but only
cheaper with no taxes). The target start
date is Veterans Day, November 11, 2017 but, you must register first. Registration begins June 1, 2017. You must call 1-844-868-8672 after June 1 to register.
