Servicemembers and Veterans Empowerment and Support Act of 2025

This bill, the Servicemembers and Veterans Empowerment and Support Act of 2025, improves support for veterans and service members who experienced military sexual trauma (MST), which includes sexual assault, battery, or harassment during military service. It establishes specialized teams to review MST claims, allows veterans to choose where their VA medical exam for MST claims takes place, and expands eligibility for MST counseling to all former reserve members. The bill requires VA to provide sensitive communications to MST survivors, connect veterans to health care when they submit MST claims, and provide clear contact information for MST support resources. It also mandates annual reviews of MST claim processing accuracy and ensures individuals who withdraw from service academies can access care and records related to MST.
