About this vote

The Prioritizing Veterans' Survivors Act requires the Office of Survivors Assistance to operate within the Office of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; it had operated within the Pension and Fiduciary Service of the Veterans Benefits Administration. Suspending the rules is a fast-track process that limits debate, bars amendments and needs a two-thirds vote; the bill passed.
