Protecting Veterans in Crisis Act

This bill temporarily requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to submit a notification to Congress not later than 48 hours before terminating any employee of the Veterans Crisis Line. The notification must provide a justification of cause for such termination, a clarification on whether the employee is a veteran or military spouse, and a detailed plan to ensure continuity of the mission readiness of the Veterans Crisis Line. This requirement terminates on January 20, 2029. The bill also requires the VA to report to Congress on the Veterans Crisis Line’s personnel, operations, and performance. The Government Accountability Office must report on the operation and performance of the Veterans Crisis Line, including recommendations for improvement.
