From the Alive Blog:
The Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act (S. 1963) was signed into law May 5, 2010. The law helps family caregivers of veterans by providing information and training, ongoing supportive services, respite, and counseling. Those caring for veterans who were injured in the line of duty after September 11, 2001 can receive healthcare coverage, certification, and a caregiver’s stipend.
The law also aims to improve care for veterans living in rural areas by increasing housing and transportation assistance, and expands healthcare services for women veterans.
