To ensure that certain members of the Armed Forces who served in female cultural support teams receive proper credit for such service.

This bill requires the military, within one year, to add service in female cultural support teams from January 1, 2010, through August 31, 2021, to each member's service record and to the calculation of their retired pay. When these individuals file disability or death claims tied to that service, the Department of Veterans Affairs must treat the service as combat with the enemy, improve training for claims staff, and tell eligible people and survivors they can file supplemental claims. The Defense and Veterans Affairs departments must study other groups whose similar service is missing from their records and report to Congress. The VA must also report on disability claims for PTSD or traumatic brain injury filed since 1990, broken down by gender and combat status, and the bill extends a VA home loan fee schedule date from November 15, 2031, to December 3, 2031.
