Servicemembers and Veterans Empowerment and Support Act of 2023

This bill improves support for veterans who experienced military sexual trauma by establishing specialized teams to review claims, requiring the VA to provide clear information about claims processing, and expanding eligibility for counseling to include all former reserve component members. It creates a pilot program to provide interim mental health care when veterans face wait times exceeding 14 days for residential treatment. The bill also mandates annual reviews of claims accuracy and requires studies on access to care for veterans with military sexual trauma. These changes aim to make the claims process more responsive and supportive for veterans who have experienced military sexual trauma.
