New ID Cards for Veterans

Congress has approved the creation of a veterans' identification card, making it easier for veterans to prove military service without having to produce a military service record or some other valuable document. Both House votes and the Senate vote were unanimous. The bill now heads to the White House where President Obama is expected to sign it. This means veterans will no longer have to routinely prove military status by providing a DD-214, which often contains personal information that could be subject to identity theft.
