WHAT'S NEW AT WWP
Wounded Veterans Participate in Tele-Town Hall on VA Benefits, Support
WASHINGTON, July 30, 2020 -- Veterans served by Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) recently participated in a virtual town hall with the VA about the benefits they're receiving during the COVID-19 pandemic. VA Undersecretary of Benefits Dr. Paul Lawrence spoke directly to individual warriors and answered questions about their personal experiences, challenges, and needs.
"As the country reopens, we remained focused on the C&P exams," Lawrence said. "When the pandemic started, we stopped these exams, moving to virtual for safety reasons. We're starting to once again do the in-person C&P exams at 40% of military facilities."
Wounded Warrior Project Continues to Place Veterans in Jobs During Pandemic
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 23, 2020 -- Despite rising unemployment since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, Wounded Warrior Project®(WWP) has helped place over 500 wounded veterans and family members in new careers, with combined first-year salaries totaling nearly $30 million.

Wounded Warrior Project Announces Passage of Specially Adaptive Housing Bill
WASHINGTON, July 21, 2020 -- Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) applauds the passage of H.R. 3504, the Ryan Kules and Paul Benne Specially Adaptive Housing (SAH) Improvement Act of 2019, and is proud to have led the way in advocating for these significant changes to the current bill.
This critical piece of legislation will reinstate SAH benefits to eligible veterans every 10 years to accommodate moving and normal life changes.
Wounded Warrior Project Testifies on Insurance and Memorial Affairs Legislation Before House Veterans Affairs Committee
WASHINGTON, July 16, 2020 -- Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) veteran benefits training manager Frank Logalbo testified before the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs, on WWP-led reforms to the Service-Disabled Veterans Life Insurance (S-DVI) program.
"Veterans with service-connected injuries often find it impossible to purchase affordable life insurance plans on the open market," Logalbo said. "Lifelong disabilities incurred while serving our nation provide reason for many insurance companies to either decline coverage or offer unaffordable policies. Modernization of the S-DVI program is a high priority for Wounded Warrior Project and the warriors we serve, and we believe that this legislation would make significant and long overdue improvements to this critical program. Wounded Warrior Project fully supports H.R. 6013, the Veteran Families Financial Support Act."
