Veteran Basic Income could be the solution the VA has been searching for #va #benefits #compensation or the Fuel to Burn the VA Compensation straight out of Veterans and Surviving Spouses Bank Accounts.l • A Veteran Basic Income would alleviate or mitigate some of these burdens. • Basic Income has also been shown to reduce homelessness, and lower mental health symptoms. Housing has also been shown to improve health outcomes for veterans. With veterans’ homelessness spiking recently and suicide rates at 17-18 veterans per day, Basic Income is the answer that may solve the bigger problems facing veterans and the VA. • Five years ago this February, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) underwent an overhaul of its appellate process when it implemented the Appeals Modernization Act. Congress wanted to shorten wait times for veterans, provide more choices in the appeals process and afford clear and understandable decisions. • This band-aid fix did not mend the broken system that is VA benefits, as veterans are still waiting an average of about 41 months for the Board of Veterans Appeals to adjudicate claims. Unfortunately, that wait time is only one step in the process and does not include the initial application, remands back to the VA Regional Office or appeals to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. • The old adage “delay, deny, wait til I die” appears to be many veterans’ experiences. • This system has become inherently adversarial, requiring attorneys to advocate for veterans because of the complexity of the system. Congress must change the VA benefits system to a Veteran Basic Income — a monthly, unconditional income for all veterans who are discharged from military for service. This monthly payment may create a softer landing for military members when they transition to civilian life. • We are in a significant recruitment slump, where the Navy is removing barriers to enlistment. The promise of a veteran basic income could encourage civilians to serve their country with an understanding that it, in addition to the GI Bill, will be a step out of poverty and into the middle class. •
