This is a good VA education and job training program and it works and we have continued to improve it. Currently, veterans have to wait up to seven months to complete the VR&E program intake and processing procedures. My bill, HR 980, the Veterans Readiness and Employment Improvement act, would update the requirements for VA VET success on campus officers or VSOCs, by closing an unnecessary loophole that right now requires a Master's degree to qualify for these positions. By closing this loophole and allowing VSOCs to serve more student veterans on campus by simply requiring a Bachelor's degree in the relevant field of study, we'll get these positions filled and solid.
