Welcome Home Veterans Act of 2023

This bill amends a provision in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act to change how military separation information is shared with veterans' organizations. It requires service members separating from the military to actively choose to opt-out of having their contact information shared with state veterans agencies, rather than having to explicitly opt-in to prevent sharing. The key change reverses the default: information will no longer be automatically transmitted unless the service member indicates they want to opt-out under the new provision. This directly affects veterans separating from active duty service. The bill focuses on clarifying privacy options for service members regarding their personal information.
