Improving Mental Health Support for Servicemembers and Veterans Act

Improved mental health support for servicemembers

This bill would require the VA and Department of Defense Joint Executive Committee to list programs and processes that help servicemembers get mental health care when they leave the military. It would require an assessment of how well those programs help people get care and identify gaps, duplications, or inefficiencies. The Committee would have to send a report to the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees within 180 days of enactment. The report would include the inventory, assessment results, and recommendations with action plans, milestones, and metrics. The bill would also require the joint separation health assessment to be reviewed at least once every two years and recommend whether questions should be removed, revised, or added.
