The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio urges the President of the United States, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and Congress to take immediate action 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 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, as well as the VA's failure to comply with the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for 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. The Ohio Senate intends to transmit copies of this resolution to key federal officials and members of Congress, emphasizing the need for timely support for veterans who have served the country.
