U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) touted bipartisan legislation that would expand support for veterans’ caregivers during a conference call with Ohio media Wednesday afternoon.

The Military and Veteran Caregiver Services Improvement Act would make resources like child care, financial assistance and legal counseling available to eligible family members or loved ones who care for veterans. The bill also would allow veterans who participate in the program to transfer their GI educational benefits to dependents who act as caregivers.
