RECOVER Act

This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to run a three-year pilot program giving grants to non-profit mental health providers that have operated an outpatient facility for at least three years. Grant recipients would use the money to provide culturally competent, evidence-based mental health care to veterans and to encourage eligible veterans to enroll in VA health care. Recipients could not charge veterans fees for this care or turn veterans away based on insurance or program eligibility. Grants would be capped at $1,500,000 per facility per year, and the bill authorizes $20,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2025 through 2027. The Secretary would report results to Congress within 180 days after the program ends.
