On this Veterans Day, the House of Representatives passed the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA), H.R. 9237, by voice vote, advancing a sweeping package of improvements to health care, benefits, and services for Veterans, survivors, caregivers, and military families.

Included in this bill is the annual $1000 CE allowance for VA Doctors of Optometry - a piece AOA and AFOS have been fighting for since the passage of the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act.

The legislation now heads to the Senate. We will be reaching out with more information on how to get involved to help ensure the passage.
