Congressman Fuller Introduces Veterans Claims Timeliness, Accountability, and Care Act

November 12, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Fuller introduced the Veterans Claims Timeliness, Accountability, and Care Act. These reforms to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) would establish clear legal deadlines to ensure the timely processing of veterans’ disability claims and appeals, hold VA employees accountable for improperly denying claims when those errors are confirmed through quality reviews, and ensure that medical professionals are rewarded based on their productivity and the quality of care they provide. It would also improve the sharing of medical records between the VA’s benefits and healthcare systems and require greater public reporting and transparency. “Our veterans made sacrifices for this country, and we have a responsibility to keep our promise to them. Veterans should not have to wait months or years for answers regarding the benefits they have rightfully earned through their service and sacrifice to our Nation.This legislation is about honoring our commitment to those who have sacrificed for our freedoms and making sure the VA delivers for them." – Congressman Clay Fuller
