This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to ensure that a veteran may obtain a physical copy of the form needed for travel reimbursements at any VA medical facility or, upon request, by mail. The VA must also ensure a veteran may submit the form to any VA medical facility in person or by mail. Such medical facilities must evaluate the form and process any claim associated with the form.
