Current law prohibits unaccredited individuals and businesses from charging a fee for assisting a veteran in filing a VA benefit claim. However, the VA and other federal agencies are limited in their ability to enforce the law because criminal penalties were eliminated nearly 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur veterans deserve to be protected from criminals seeking to prey on their benefits,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cThe bipartisan legislation I\u2019m joining will help safeguard veterans\u2019 benefits and protect them from abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been a champion for Nevada\u2019s servicemembers, veterans, and military families.
