NAVR Closes Out Landmark Year With Rollout of National Compliance Framework After Passage of Veteran-Protection Laws in Eight States
The National Association for Veterans Rights (NAVR) is closing out its most impactful year to date, marked by major progress in strengthening consumer protections for Veterans and establishing clear, enforceable standards for organizations assisting them with disability benefits. In 2025, NAVR led a coordinated national effort that resulted in the passage of the SAVE Act and parallel legislation in eight states: Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Tennessee. These state laws protect Veterans’ right to choose who assists them with their benefits while creating guardrails that ensure only reputable companies operate in this space.
National Association for Veterans Rights Applauds Passage of CHOICE Act in House Committee, Defeat of GUARD Act
The National Association for Veterans Rights (NAVR) applauds the passage of the CHOICE for Veterans Act of 2025 (H.R. 3132) by the House Veterans Affairs Committee. Introduced by Lieutenant General Jack Bergman and co-led by Chairman Mike Bost, Congressman Derek Van Orden, and Congressman Keith Self, all Veterans and members of the Committee, this legislation preserves Veterans’ freedom of choice, expands access to accredited representation, and imposes new penalties on bad actors preying on vulnerable claimants.
