National Veterans Strategy Act of 2026

This bill would require the President to set metrics for measuring the well-being of veterans in areas such as physical and mental health, economic security, education, family life, and civic engagement, working with Congress, federal agencies, state, local, and tribal governments, and private and nonprofit groups. The President would then submit a National Veterans Strategy to Congress at least every four years to coordinate government, nonprofit, and private efforts to help veterans meet those metrics, with public input through hearings or surveys. Congress could block a strategy by passing a joint resolution of disapproval within 60 days. Federal agencies would have to align their resources with the strategy, and federal grant recipients would have to apply its standard outcome metrics. The President would report to Congress each year on progress.
