Published on March 22, 2026.
Senator Marsha Blackburn has proposed the Recognizing Community Organization for Veteran Engagement and Recovery (RECOVER) Act to expand access to mental health care for veterans. The legislation would establish a three-year pilot program to authorize $20 million annually for three years to provide grants to nonprofit organizations and ensure that care is free. The act aims to prioritise urban and rural areas with high risk of veteran suicide.
