This bill establishes a new section in the Oklahoma Statutes that mandates state benefits for one-hundred-percent disabled veterans to align with the qualifications set forth in federal law, specifically under 38 U.S.C., Section 1151. This ensures that the benefits provided by the state are consistent with federal standards for disability benefits.
The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026, allowing time for implementation and adjustment to the new requirements. This legislative change aims to enhance the support provided to veterans with total disabilities by ensuring that state benefits are in accordance with established federal guidelines.
