What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Gaining Meaningful Experiences from Service Act" or the "GAMES Act," seeks to amend title 10 of the United States Code. The primary purpose is to expand the eligibility of veterans for a specific military adaptive sports program. It achieves this by amending section 2564a, subsection (a)(1)(B). The amendment specifically removes the requirement that a veteran participate during the one-year period following their date of separation.
