The Delivering Digitally to Our Veterans Act of 2025 amends the veterans benefits law to require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to offer electronic communication for educational assistance benefits. It ensures that eligible veterans and other qualified individuals can send and receive VA correspondence online instead of by mail, and that they are given the chance to opt in to this service. The rule applies to anyone receiving or applying for VA education benefits.

Key Provisions

  • Adds a new subsection to the VA education benefits law requiring the Secretary to create a system for veterans to electronically send and receive correspondence about their education benefits.
  • Mandates that veterans be offered an opt‑in option for electronic communication rather than traditional mail.
  • Requires the VA to notify veterans enrolled in education or training programs about the opportunity to use electronic correspondence.
