Establishes minimum requirements for the number of Vet Centers per state to improve mental health care for veterans.
The Veterans Census-Enabled National Treatment Equitable Resource Supplement for Mental Health Act of 2026 mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to ensure each state has a minimum number of Vet Centers. For contiguous states, the requirement is one Vet Center per 30,000 square miles or one per 55,000 veterans, whichever is greater. Non-contiguous states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other territories must have at least one Vet Center. The Secretary may establish additional Vet Centers or Vet Center outstations to meet these requirements.
