NAELA eBulletin – NAELA was invited by the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs to provide written testimony for a hearing on pending benefits legislation. NAELA’s written testimony focuses on the Veterans Pension Protection Act (S.748), a bill that calls for a three-year lookback period for VA benefits. NAELA’s testimony explains that a lookback period of any length will not prevent the financial exploitation of veterans and instead, will create more uncertainty in the claims process.
