Have You Served Act

The Have You Served Act (HR 6291) creates a grant program for states and tribes to develop "Ask the Question Campaigns." It provides up to $200,000 per grant to eligible entities (states or tribes with a veteran suicide prevention plan) to train human services professionals, local governments, and community providers on asking clients about military service and connecting them to VA resources. The bill requires grantees to report on training outcomes and authorizes $6 million annually (2024-2028) for implementation. This directly affects veterans, military-connected individuals, and the professionals who serve them by improving access to VA support services.
