AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to award grants to states to improve outreach to veterans and their families. The grants can be used to carry out or enhance covered outreach activities, assist in the development and submission of veterans' benefit claims, or hire new county or tribal veterans service officers. The Secretary must prioritize grants for areas with a critical shortage of such officers or high rates of veteran suicide or crisis line referrals. The states must use the grants to expand existing programs, hire new officers, or facilitate travel and transportation. The Secretary will develop outcome measures and tracking requirements to monitor the use of veterans' benefits and the performance of the grant recipients.
