Congress 117th
Date Requested May 4, 2021
Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Date Sent May 11, 2021
Description:
H.R. 2441 would direct the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to expand the Rural Access Network Growth Enhancement program to three additional medical facilities. Through that program, VA provides case management services to veterans residing in rural areas who have severe and persistent mental illnesses. The bill would require the department to establish the program at the new locations in 2022. The bill would authorize the appropriation of $1.2 million each year from 2022 through 2024 for that purpose. CBO estimates that implementing the program expansion would cost $3 million over the 2021-2026 period, assuming appropriation of the specified amount.
