          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Removing Extraneous Loopholes Insuring Every Veteran Emergency Act or the RELIEVE Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill expands eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reimbursement of emergency treatment for veterans who are treated in a non-VA facility. Specifically, the bill waives the requirement that a veteran must have received VA care within the 24-month period preceding the furnishing of emergency treatment if the veteran receives such emergency treatment within the 60-day period following their enrollment in the VA health care system.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
