Have You Served Act

HR 5995, the "Have You Served Act," provides grants to states and tribes with veteran suicide prevention plans to fund "Ask the Question Campaigns." These campaigns train human services professionals, local governments, and community providers to respectfully ask clients if they or a loved one served in the military, then connect them to VA resources. The bill authorizes $6 million annually (2026-2030) for up to 25 grants of $200,000 each to support this training and outreach. It directly affects veterans and their families by improving access to VA services through community-based referrals, without changing eligibility for benefits.
