The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, introduced by Senator Schaffer and co-sponsored by several other senators, calls for urgent action from the President of the United States, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and Congress to reduce the processing time for veterans' disability benefit claims. It highlights the increasing number of veterans with service-connected disabilities and the lengthy average processing time of 139.3 days for claims as of November 2024. The resolution also references recommendations from the U.S. Government Accountability Office aimed at improving the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) capacity to manage workloads and enhance performance.

Furthermore, the resolution urges the VA to implement policies ensuring that the appeals process for disability benefits is completed within three months of an applicant receiving an initial determination letter. It emphasizes the need for compliance with the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017, which aimed to streamline the appeals process. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the Senate to send authenticated copies to relevant federal officials and the media to raise awareness of this issue.
