Rep. Derrick Van Orden Chairs Veterans Affairs Economic Opportunity Subcommittee Legislative Hearing

Published | Video Starts at 00:52

A number of these proposals seek to improve education programs for Americans veterans to ensure that taxpayers dollars are used responsibly. And I specifically want to highlight three of my bills that are on today's agenda. My first bill will modernize the requirements for VET success on campus officers or VSOCs and allow employees to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in the relevant field of study instead of a Master's degree. This change will allow our VSOCs to serve more students and veterans on campus without a degradation of those services. Another bill that I have is restoring the VA Home Loan Program in pertuity Act.

CLAIM

Proposes changing educational requirements for VSOCs from a Master's to a Bachelor's degree.
