Independent veteran research to inform one of the most consequential veterans policy discussions in years. The survey below is presented exactly as respondents saw it. It is now closed and is provided for transparency so you can view the questions, context, and information participants received before answering.
Congress is continuing debate over the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA), one of the largest veterans’ legislative packages considered in recent years. The legislation contains more than 60 provisions affecting veteran healthcare, disability compensation, caregivers, survivors, transition assistance, community care, mental health, traumatic brain injury, and other programs.
Much of the public debate has focused on one provision—Section 108—which concerns future disability ratings for tinnitus and sleep apnea and is being used as part of the legislation’s funding mechanism.
Mission Roll Call wants to better understand not only whether veterans support or oppose TCAVA, but what veterans know about the legislation, which provisions matter most to them, how additional information affects their views, and what they believe Congress should do if lawmakers cannot agree on the entire package.
Mission Roll Call’s mission is not to tell veterans what to think—it is to ensure policymakers know what veterans think.
Mission Roll Call conducts independent surveys to better understand the views, experiences, and priorities of America’s military and veteran community.
MRC is not a member-based organization. MRC maintains a curated participant network of more than 100,000 volunteers who have self-identified as Veterans, Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, Military Spouses, Family Members, Caregivers, or Survivors. Survey invitations are distributed by email and text to randomly selected members of this network and may also be shared through MRC’s website, veteran service organizations, and partner organizations.
Participation is voluntary. Because MRC’s participant network is self-enrolled and surveys may also include respondents recruited through open and partner channels, results are considered a nonprobability sample of the broader military and veteran community. Unless otherwise noted, results are unweighted and a conventional margin of sampling error is not reported.
MRC employs technical safeguards and data-quality reviews to identify duplicate or incomplete submissions. Results may also be compared across recruitment channels to assess whether findings remain consistent regardless of how respondents entered the survey.
Mission Roll Call is committed to transparency. Survey reports include field dates, sample size, methodology, and questionnaire details whenever practical. Results are reported regardless of whether they support or challenge Mission Roll Call’s policy positions.
