Bill > S1198

This bill, the Solid Start Act of 2022, aims to improve and expand the Solid Start program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The Solid Start program is designed to efficiently and effectively respond to the needs of veterans who have recently separated from the armed forces. Key provisions of the bill include requiring the VA to collect contact information from separating service members, proactively call these veterans three times within their first year of separation, provide tailored information and resources, prioritize outreach to veterans who have accessed mental health services, and gather data to assess the program's effectiveness. The bill also makes some organizational changes to the VA's existing outreach services program.
