Every Veteran Counts Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to collect demographic data about veterans from available sources, such as the Census Bureau and the Social Security Administration, and keep it in a database. The data would include items such as sex, gender identity, age, education, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, income, housing, employment, military service history, and where veterans live. The data would have to be anonymized and made available on a public VA website that is updated at least once a year, starting within 180 days of the law taking effect. The bill would also require the VA to send Congress a report on its data strategy within one year and publish that report online.
