What this bill would do
The Veterans Transition Support Act of 2025 aims to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs Solid Start program. It expands outreach to members of the Armed Forces and requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to coordinate with the Department of Defense. The bill mandates that the program call members at least once between 210 and 120 days before their separation. During these calls, members will be informed about transitional health care and provided with contact information for the nearest Department facility and recognized representatives for disability claims. It also requires the collection of Department of Defense suicide prevention resources to help members in crisis.
