HR 7735 United States House · 119th Congress

Improving Mental Health Support for Servicemembers and Veterans Act

This bill requires the VA and Defense Department to assess how well their current mental health programs help servicemembers and veterans transition to civilian life. Specifically, it mandates the Joint Executive Committee to complete an inventory of existing mental health services across the transition process and report findings - including any gaps or inefficiencies - to Congress within 180 days. It also directs the Committee to review the joint separation health assessment tool biennially to ensure its questions remain relevant and effective. The bill directly affects the VA and Defense Department agencies responsible for veterans' mental health care, aiming to improve coordination without creating new benefits or services.
