# Ensuring VetSuccess On Campus Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to expand and guarantee funding for the VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC) program so that it operates in every state. Currently, the program isn't available everywhere. The bill mandates that each state have at least one dedicated counselor who helps veterans, active-duty servicemembers, and their eligible family members adjust to college life and succeed academically. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily benefits veterans and servicemembers transitioning to civilian life through higher education, as well as their qualified dependents.

It also affects the VA, which must ensure nationwide coverage and staffing of the program, and colleges and universities where VSOC counselors would be located. **Key Provisions & Current Status** The main requirement is that the VA establish at least one VSOC counselor position in each state. VSOC counselors help with educational planning, career guidance, and other support services tailored to military-connected students. The bill has already passed the Senate and is now awaiting consideration in the House of Representatives.
