Panel OKs Email For VA Claims Notifications. Air Force Times

Legislation allowing email to be used as the primary means of notifying veterans about the status of pending disability benefits claims was approved Thursday by a House subcommittee after a few changes were made to ensure veterans could not be inadvertently hurt by electronic rather than paper notifications.” The House Veterans Affairs Committee’s “oversight and investigations panel also approved a bill requiring the Labor Department to post information on its website about the number of veterans hired by federal contractors.” The full Veterans Affairs Committee will take up by the two bills in August, as “part of a package of legislation that the panel wants to pass before Congress takes its summer break.”

I have a feeling they simply send email notifications directing Veterans to log into Ebenefits to read the notifications...
