Bill overview
This bill, the Korean American VALOR Act, aims to extend healthcare benefits to Korean veterans who served in Vietnam. It allows individuals who served with the Republic of Korea’s armed forces during the Vietnam War (between January 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975) and subsequently became U.S. citizens to receive hospital, domiciliary care, and medical services through the Department of Veterans Affairs, similar to U.S. military veterans. The bill amends existing law to specifically include these Korean veterans in the eligibility criteria for VA healthcare.
