VA would offer annual mental health check-ups to veterans with certain service-connected conditions.
The VA Mental Health Outreach and Engagement Act would ensure that veterans receiving compensation for a service-connected mental health diagnosis get regular support. It would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer these veterans a mental health consultation at least once a year. The bill also calls for outreach to inform veterans about these consultations and other available mental health services.
Today, the VA offers mental health consultations, but there is no rule requiring annual check-ins or specific outreach for veterans receiving disability payments for a service-connected mental health condition. If this bill passes, the VA would be required to offer these specific veterans a mental health consultation at least once a year and actively inform them about these and other mental health services.
