GAMES Act

S. 4156, the GAMES Act, would amend federal law to expand the eligibility of veterans to participate in military adaptive sports programs. The bill is currently under consideration by the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. If enacted, this legislation would broaden access to adaptive sports opportunities for veterans, potentially allowing more service members to benefit from athletic programs designed for those with service-connected disabilities or injuries. The practical impact would be to increase the number of veterans who qualify for these programs, which can support physical rehabilitation, mental health, and overall wellness for those transitioning from military service.
