Bill overview
The Veterans’ Sentinel Act directs the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a pilot program to gather and analyze data on suicides and attempted suicides by veterans occurring on VA property. This program will involve a working group examining root causes, improving data collection methods, and providing regular briefings to Congress. The bill also mandates annual evaluations of suicide trends and requires the Government Accountability Office to assess the VA’s efforts to prevent veteran suicide and recommend improvements to the Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
