AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to study whether distributed ledger technology (such as blockchain) could be used in the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve benefits claims decisions and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. The study would look at how the technology could record steps in the claims process, verify claims, improve accountability, and spot irregularities in benefits delivery. The Secretary would consult with technology experts, veterans service organizations, and other federal agencies. Within one year, the Secretary would report findings to the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees, including any recommended pilot programs and any legislative or administrative actions needed.
