HR 9438 United States House · 118th Congress

No Wrong Door for Veterans Act

This bill reauthorizes and updates the VA's Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program. It requires grantees to use the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SRRS) for screening and mandates that veterans referred for care receive emergency services within 72 hours if not served promptly. VA medical centers within 100 miles of grant recipients must receive quarterly briefings to improve coordination. The program's deadline is extended to September 30, 2027, and grants may now use up to 5% of funds for food/non-alcoholic beverages. The changes directly affect veterans at risk of suicide, VA medical centers, and grant-funded suicide prevention programs.
