Filipino Veterans Fairness Act of 2019

This bill deems certain service performed before July 1, 1946, in the organized military forces of the Philippines and the Philippine Scouts, to be active military service for purposes of eligibility for veterans benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

In determining eligibility under this bill, the VA must take into account any relevant service documentation, including documentation other than the Missouri List (certain military service records).
