On October 17, 2020, the Commander
John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of
2019, Public Law (Pub. L.) 116–171 (the Act), was enacted in law.
Section 201 of the Act, codified as a note to section 1720F of
title 38, United States Code (U.S.C.), mandated VA establish the
Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program
(SSG Fox SPGP), a community-based grant program that would support
certain eligible entities to provide or coordinate the provision of
suicide prevention services to eligible individuals and their
families. Section 201 of the Act specified which entities are
eligible for grants and those individuals eligible to receive
suicide prevention services, defined the suicide prevention
services that may be provided, described grant application
requirements, and explained instances in which eligible entities
must refer individuals to VA for additional care, among other
requirements. This grant program is authorized for a period of
three years starting on the date on which the first grant is
awarded. The maximum amount per grant is capped by section
201(c)(2) of the Act at $750,000 per fiscal year. The Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing this interim final rule to
implement a new authority requiring VA to implement a three-year
community-based grant program to award grants to eligible entities
to provide or coordinate the provision of suicide prevention
services to eligible individuals and their families for the purpose
of reducing veteran suicide. This rulemaking specifies grant
eligibility criteria, application requirements, scoring criteria,
constraints on the allocation and use of the funds, and other
requirements necessary to implement this grant program.
