Veteran family caregivers need your voice right now

The Veteran Caregiver Re-education, Re-employment, and Retirement Act (H.R. 2148) is scheduled for a markup hearing on February 12, 2026. This is a critical moment, and lawmakers need to hear from us before February 12 at 9:00 a.m. EST.

A quick phone call or message can make a real difference in whether this bill moves forward.

Who Should Call?

Everyone.
You do not need to live in a representative’s district to contact them. You can:

  • Call representatives who are not your own
  • Call every member listed below
  • Leave a voicemail if no one answers — voicemails absolutely count

Lawmakers track constituent and public input closely, especially ahead of markup hearings. Volume matters.

How to Call

Use the sample script below. Feel free to personalize it, but keeping the core message helps ensure consistency.

Sample Call Script:

My name is _____. I reside at _____.

I am calling to respectfully request your support for House Bill 2148, the Veteran Caregiver Re-education, Re-employment, and Retirement Act, which has a markup hearing on Thursday. I urge you to support this bill. H.R. 2148 addresses critical gaps faced by veteran caregivers. It allows caregivers the ability to save for retirement, provides opportunities to retrain or recertify in their professional licensure areas if caregiving ends, and ensures access to healthcare and grief counseling for an additional 90 days following the death of their veteran.

This is a low-cost measure with a substantial and lasting impact. It recognizes the economic and emotional sacrifices made by caregivers and provides them with a path toward stability and reintegration. Supporting this bill is a practical and compassionate investment in those who have served our veterans.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
