## Summary

**Creates a VA pilot grant program to fund nonprofit service-dog providers for eligible veterans.** The pilot sets training, humane-treatment, and outreach requirements for providers and ties grant awards to expanding access for veterans with covered conditions. - Veterans: Eligible veterans enrolled in VA care who are prescribed a service dog for covered conditions like PTSD, traumatic brain injury, sensory loss, or mobility impairments can receive grant-funded dogs at no cost and be informed of VA benefits and services. - Nonprofit providers: Nonprofits with demonstrated Americans with Disabilities Act training experience can compete for grants up to $2.0 million each and must agree not to charge veterans for grant-funded dogs and to meet training and humane-treatment commitments. - VA operations and timing: VA may provide veterinary insurance for grant-funded dogs, offer training and technical assistance, impose oversight and reporting, and the pilot is authorized $10.0 million per year for FY2027–FY2031 and terminates September 30, 2031. *Authorizes $10.0 million annually for FY2027–FY2031 and caps awards at $2.0 million per entity.*

The pilot could receive $10 million each year from FY2027–FY2031, with grants up to $2 million per nonprofit. To qualify, veterans would need VA enrollment, a VA prescription, and a cove…
- Vet insurance for veterans' service dogs: benefit, medium. If enacted, veterans who get a service dog through the pilot could receive a commercial veterinary insurance policy for that dog.
