Summary
The Vet Center Enhancement Act of 2006 (H.R. 5221) aims to expand the reach and services of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) vet centers to better support returning service members and their families. The bill would authorize the VA to hire up to 250 veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan to conduct outreach, helping fellow veterans access readjustment counseling and mental health services. Additionally, it would expand eligibility for bereavement counseling to include the parents of service members who die on active duty and allow these services to be provided directly through local vet centers.
