Gov. Reynolds issues statement on Iowa veterans’ benefits bill passing Senate

Today, Gov. Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to SF 2466, her bill to improve the existing statewide system for delivering benefits to veterans, passing the Iowa Senate with bipartisan support:
"Today, Iowa ranks 44th in the nation for veteran benefits, and only 29 percent of Iowa veterans are receiving the assistance they deserve. That's not acceptable," Governor Reynolds said. "By aligning resources and improving efficiency, we can ensure that the Iowans who served our nation with honor receive the benefits they've earned. Thank you to the Senate for passing this bill with bipartisan support to modernize our CVSO system and support the men and women who have sacrificed so much for us."
