Executive Summary

Information on Federal Resources for Military Servicemembers Act or the INFORMS Act

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to create fact sheets for veterans and survivors of deceased veterans to compare VA benefits and compensation, certain monthly insurance benefits under the Social Security Act, and supplemental security income for the aged, blind, and disabled under the Social Security Act. The fact sheets must be updated at least annually.

The VA must provide copies of such fact sheets whenever (1) an individual makes an initial claim for a benefit or compensation or a claim to increase a benefit or compensation; or (2) the VA notifies the individual it has denied a claim for, or decreased the amount of, a benefit or compensation.
