Rooney, Deutch Veterans Bill Passes House

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Preventing Crimes Against Veterans Act, authored by Congressman Tom Rooney (R-FL) and Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL), passed the House of Representatives today with unanimous bipartisan support.

Quote from Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL) 

"A despicable breed of financial predators have been advertising themselves to the veteran’s community claiming that, for a hefty fee paid by the veteran, they can speed up the claims process with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Although it is illegal under existing law for anyone who is not an approved agent to charge a fee for helping a veteran with a claim or an appeal with the VA, there is no criminal or financial penalty associated with breaking the law. This legislation will both deter and penalize fraudsters that blatantly engage in a scheme to defraud a veteran (or his or her survivor or spouse) of his or her benefits by imposing a fine, imprisonment of up to five years, or both."

Quote from Palm Beach County VSO Greg Dover  

"I am happy to see legislation being passed to protect our disabled and/or senior veterans and their spouses. The day of reckoning is upon us, at least for the Great State of Florida, where there will be measurable deterrents and penalties to drive back the predatory practices of those who would take advantage of those who deserve protection most. It has been an honor to work with Congressman Deutch's office for this worthy cause."
