This bill, titled the "No Wrong Door for Veterans Act," primarily focuses on the reauthorization and improvement of the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program . It extends the program's operational duration until September 30, 2026, and allocates an additional $52,500,000 in funding for fiscal year 2026, ensuring the continued provision of vital suicide prevention services for veterans. Key enhancements to the grant program include new provisions for emergent suicide care , requiring grant recipients to notify eligible individuals of their eligibility and the Secretary if care is elected. If the Secretary does not provide services within 72 hours of a referral, the individual is automatically deemed eligible. The bill also mandates the use of the Columbia Protocol for suicide risk screening in future grants and refines eligibility criteria for grant recipients. Beyond this, the legislation expands VA medical services to include adaptive prostheses for sports and recreational activities and extends certain limits on veterans' pension payments.
