Timely Electronic Health Record Transfers for Transitioning Servicemembers Act of 2026

Key claim: HR9865, the Timely Electronic Health Record Transfers for Transitioning Servicemembers Act of 2026, would require timely electronic health record transfers for servicemembers leaving military service.

Abstract

(HR9865 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-22): Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.

Why this matters

Delays or gaps in transferring military health records to the VA and civilian providers are a long-standing cause of disrupted care, benefits-claim backlogs, and adverse outcomes for separating servicemembers. A statutory timeliness requirement would shift a persistent operational problem in the DoD/VA EHR interoperability program into a compliance obligation, with fiscal and workflow implications for both departments.
