Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Extension Act of 2025

This legislation proposes to extend the application period for the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Program. Currently, eligible veterans or their heirs have until December 29, 2025, to apply for up to 160 acres of federal land in Alaska. This bill would move that deadline to December 29, 2030, providing an additional five years for individuals to navigate the application process.

The program is specifically designed for Alaska Native veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam era, defined as the period between August 5, 1964, and December 31, 1971. By extending the timeline, the bill aims to ensure that those entitled to these land allotments have sufficient time to identify available parcels and complete the necessary legal requirements to claim their land.
