On October 17, 2020, the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019, Public Law (Pub. L.) 116â171 (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.
