A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to make certain spouses eligible for services under the disabled veterans’ outreach program, and for other purposes.
Key claim: Senate bill S5014 would amend title 38 USC to make certain spouses eligible for services under the disabled veterans’ outreach program.
Abstract
(S5014 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-16): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
Why this matters
The Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program is a long-standing DOL-administered employment services program authorized under title 38; expanding eligibility to certain spouses incrementally broadens the beneficiary pool and would carry modest fiscal and staffing implications for state workforce agencies that host DVOP specialists. The proposal fits a recurring pattern of extending veteran-linked benefits to family members without altering program structure.
