S 4567 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the New York state of health to help veterans ascertain their eligibility for health care through the department of veterans affairs

This bill requires New York's state health insurance marketplace (the "New York State of Health") to help veterans determine if they qualify for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care benefits. It directs the marketplace to check veterans' eligibility during their application process and provide them with resources to apply for VA benefits directly. The law applies specifically to veterans seeking health coverage through New York's state marketplace. The key provision mandates this assistance without altering VA eligibility rules or creating new benefits. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment, with immediate rule changes allowed for implementation.
