Vets Connect Act

Summary

The bill orders the Department of Veterans Affairs to build a private database and messaging system that lets verified veterans find and contact other veterans they served with, without automatically sharing phone numbers, email addresses, or other personal details. Participation is voluntary; veterans choose what information is visible and can change settings or delete their data at any time. The law also bans commercial use of the data, requires strong cybersecurity, and gives the VA Inspector General oversight.
