HR 9863: To direct the Director of the Defense Health Agency to submit to Congress a report on the feasibility of establishing a pilot program that establishes a behavioral neurology fellowship program to provide training opportunities with respect to treating members of the Armed Forces and veterans with traumatic brain injuries.

This bill directs the Director of the Defense Health Agency to submit a report to Congress on whether it is feasible to create a pilot fellowship program for behavioral neurology. The proposed program would train two medical doctors each year to treat service members and veterans with traumatic brain injuries, focusing on the connection between behavior and brain trauma. To qualify, fellows must hold a medical degree and have completed a residency in neurology or psychiatry, though board certification is not required to participate. The report must evaluate potential locations for the program and confirm that it meets specific requirements, including accreditation and the ability for fellows to pursue future board certification.

S 5014: Veteran Suicide Spousal Career Services Act

The Veteran Suicide Spousal Career Services Act expands eligibility for the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program to include spouses of veterans, as well as spouses of service members who died in the line of duty or by suicide related to a service-connected disability. By amending existing federal law, the bill ensures these eligible persons can access the career counseling and support services previously reserved for veterans. This change directly affects the families of those who served, allowing them to utilize the program's resources without needing to meet the veteran status requirement themselves. The legislation focuses on broadening the definition of who qualifies for assistance rather than creating new types of services or funding.
