To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to include information relating to the rate of suicide among covered Reserves in each National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report of the Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

HR 6873 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to include suicide rate data for former Reserve members who were never activated for active duty in its annual National Veteran Suicide Prevention Report. Specifically, the bill directs the VA Secretary (with Defense Department consultation) to add "covered Reserves" statistics - defined as former Reserve members who never served in active military service - to each report. This change addresses a gap noted in VA reports since 2020, which previously excluded data on this group despite 538 suicides among them in 2018. The bill does not alter benefits or services but mandates expanded data collection for transparency in suicide prevention reporting.
