Veterans Benefits Matters - Claim Servicers - Requirements
In the House - Hearing 3/03 at 1:00 p.m.
Summary
The bill forces anyone who isn’t VA‑accredited but charges for preparing, presenting, or advising on veterans benefits claims to sign a written fee agreement that includes a bold disclaimer about lack of government affiliation, give the same notice orally, and obtain a written acknowledgment. It also prohibits charging fees in specified situations, imposes civil penalties for violations, and revises advertising rules for veterans‑benefits services.
