The Commissioner of Veterans Affairs must compile the submitted data and submit a comprehensive report to the Military Department and the joint standing committee on military and veterans' affairs by August 30th annually.

The compiled report must specify the total number of veterans receiving benefits and the total value of such benefits, broken down by category of benefit.
