Five Years After a Landmark Win for Women Veterans -- January 2026 marked five years since the enactment of one of the most significant policy victories for women veterans. Named after the woman who brazenly disguised herself as a man so she could fight in the Revolutionary War, the Deborah Sampson Act mandated historic investment in understanding the unique health care needs of women veterans and improving the quality of and access to comprehensive, gender-tailored care provided through the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“This landmark legislation codified a much-needed and far-reaching focus on the fastest-growing demographic of veterans,” said DAV Deputy National Legislative Director Naomi Mathis. “Over the past five years, we have seen notable progress, not the least of which is a better grasp on the experience of women veterans.”

The law includes 28 provisions, many of which require reports offering insight into the state of women veterans health care and resources at the VA. They address prostheses for women, child care support, military sexual trauma (MST), infertility services and more.

Below are updates on all 28 provisions, based on one-time mandated reports dating as far back as 2021, mandated annual reports, publicly available documents and information requests. Click the “+” icon next to each section title to expand.

From the Disabled American Veterans Department of South Carolina

DAV applauds Secretary Collins’ decision to halt the implementation of VA’s rule regarding the impact of medication on evaluation ratings for service-connected disabilities. We appreciate the Secretary listening to and acting on the concerns of those who have served and sacrificed for this nation. No veteran should ever have to worry that taking medications they need due to their illnesses and injuries could result in the reduction of their benefits. We look forward to working with the Secretary to ensure that veterans receive all the health care and benefits they’ve earned now and in the future.
