Produce Prescriptions for Veterans Act

This bill would add produce prescriptions to the list of medical services the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can provide to veterans. A produce prescription is defined as a service in which the VA gives a benefit, such as a voucher or debit card, for buying fruits and vegetables, or refers a veteran to receive such a benefit. To qualify, a veteran must have a diet-related chronic condition and be food-insecure. The benefit is meant to be used to improve the veteran's diet-related chronic condition.
