The resolution urges the United States Congress to pass the Improving Menopause Care for Veterans Act of 2025, which aims to enhance the medical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for women veterans experiencing menopause and perimenopause. With approximately 2 million women veterans in the U.S., and around 30 percent of them aged between 40 and 54—an age range where menopause symptoms typically begin—the resolution highlights the importance of addressing the unique healthcare needs of this demographic. Symptoms of menopause, which can significantly disrupt daily life, include hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, and are often exacerbated in women veterans due to their military experiences.

The proposed legislation would require the United States Comptroller General to study and report on the menopause-related medical services offered by the VA, as well as mandate improvements in access to and quality of menopause care. The resolution emphasizes New Jersey's commitment to ensuring that women veterans receive the necessary treatment to manage menopause symptoms effectively, thereby improving their overall quality of life, health, and well-being.
