Veteran Suicide Spousal Career Services Act

This bill would change federal veterans law so that certain spouses can receive services from the disabled veterans' outreach program, which provides job and career help. Eligible spouses would include those already defined in an existing section of veterans law, spouses of people who died while serving in the Armed Forces, and spouses of people who died by suicide and had a service-connected disability. The bill adds these spouses alongside eligible veterans throughout the section describing the program's services. It also removes the word "non-veteran-related" from a part of the section dealing with the duties of outreach staff.
