Mission Roll Call Recognizes House Passage of Take Care of America’s Veterans Act

Veteran survey findings demonstrate broad support for legislation addressing long-standing needs across the veteran community.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Mission Roll Call today recognized the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA), H.R. 9237, on Veterans Day, November 11, 2026.

The legislation combines more than 60 bipartisan veterans’ measures benefiting combat-injured medically retired veterans, veterans living with traumatic brain injuries and PTSD, women veterans, surviving spouses, and family caregivers. It also addresses suicide prevention, healthcare access, disability compensation, education, and transition assistance.

Mission Roll Call has worked throughout the congressional debate to ensure veterans’ perspectives inform lawmakers’ consideration of TCAVA.

In its initial survey of more than 1,000 respondents from the veteran community, Mission Roll Call found 71% support for TCAVA. A subsequent survey found support increased by more than 15 percentage points after respondents reviewed four informational explainers, including one addressing the controversial Section 108. Only 6.2% favored abandoning the legislation altogether if disagreements over Section 108 could not be resolved.

“House passage represents an important step toward addressing issues veterans and their families have raised with us repeatedly,” said Jim Whaley, CEO of Mission Roll Call. “Our research demonstrates substantial support for the legislation’s broader objectives, even as veterans express differing views about individual provisions.”

Mission Roll Call also supports ensuring that savings anticipated from changes to VA disability rating criteria remain dedicated to veterans. Rather than being redirected to unrelated federal spending, those savings should improve veterans’ lives through expanded benefits, healthcare, and essential services.

Mission Roll Call recognizes the work of its coalition partners, including The American Legion, Wounded Warrior Project, Military Officers Association of America, AMVETS, Vietnam Veterans of America, Elizabeth Dole Foundation, TAPS, and more than a dozen other organizations that have worked together to advance this legislation.

TCAVA now moves to the Senate, where lawmakers will consider the legislation and its remaining policy and funding questions.

Mission Roll Call will continue providing independent veteran research and analysis throughout the legislative process.
