What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryRequires VA to reschedule canceled mental health visits
The bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to reach out and try to reschedule a veteran's mental health appointment if that veteran cancels it. This is meant to help keep veterans connected to the mental health care they need.
How it affects you
If you're a veteran who receives mental health care through the VA, this could mean getting another chance at a mental health appointment if you have to cancel one. Instead of that appointment simply disappearing, the VA would work to find you a new time that works.
