WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) – ranking member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs – today applauded the Senate’s passage of the Department of Veterans Affairs Expiring Authorities Act of 2024, which passed as part of the Continuing Resolution.

This legislation reauthorizes select authorities within the committee’s jurisdiction into the next fiscal year to ensure a smooth continuation of these veteran programs and services. It contains extensions of multiple veteran programs that Ranking Member Moran has been a prominent leader on including improving hospital and nursing home care, expanding mental health services and combating veteran homelessness.

“Veterans across the country depend on programs offered by the VA to access the care and benefits they have earned through their service,” said Sen. Moran. “This legislation helps these programs seamlessly continue into the next fiscal year to prevent disrupting veterans’ lives, and I look forward to the President signing it into law.”
