HB2410, ensuring that honorably discharged veterans who have recently moved to Arizona will receive in-state tuition at Arizona's colleges and universities.

A new provision identifying low-income veterans who are eligible to receive AHCCCS benefits.

Ruben regularly advises the White House on veterans issues, and is a former member of Governor Janet Napolitano's Blue Ribbon Panel on Veterans Issues, Congressman Harry Mitchell's Veterans Advisory Committee, The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, and became a State Captain for VoteVets.org in 2006. He is a member of American Legion Post 41, located in Central Phoenix.
