Veterans Readiness and Employment Improvement Act of 2025

What this does

The bill makes several changes to Department of Veterans Affairs vocational rehabilitation and counseling programs under title 38. It removes the requirement that on-campus educational and vocational counseling be delivered by certain VA employees, opening that counseling to other providers. It lets the Secretary approve non-degree flight training as part of a vocational rehabilitation program for veterans with service-connected disabilities, for programs approved on or after August 1, 2026. It requires VA to set up a dedicated phone line in its Education Call Center and post contact information on each regional office website for rehabilitation services, and it requires the Secretary to decide requests to extend a rehabilitation program within 30 days and to report annually for five years on how many extension requests were made, approved, and denied. It also extends a limit on certain pension payments by moving the sunset date from January 31, 2033, to July 31, 2033.
