Information reaching the Office must not identify a person
What the document says“any information provided to the Office does not include personally identifiable information of an individual veteran, survivor, dependent, or other beneficiary unless such individual provides appropriate consent to allow such information to be shared with the Office.”
The Secretary must ensure that information given to the Office carries no personally identifiable information about a veteran, survivor, dependent or other beneficiary, unless that person has given appropriate consent for it to be shared with the Office.
What the document actually says“any information provided to the Office does not include personally identifiable information of an individual veteran, survivor, dependent, or other beneficiary unless such individual provides appropriate consent to allow such information to be shared with the Office.”
The facts sent to the office must not name a person. A veteran can agree to share their own name. Without that, names stay out.
This covers veterans and their families too. It is a limit on what the office may hold.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
