Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The SAVES Act requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a five-year pilot program awarding competitive grants to nonprofit organizations to provide service dogs to eligible veterans. Eligible veterans include those enrolled in VA care with disabilities such as blindness, mobility impairment, hearing loss, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, or other conditions where a service dog would optimize independence. Grant recipients must be accredited by Assistance Dogs International or the International Guide Dog Federation, cannot charge veterans fees, and must coordinate with VA mental health providers for veterans with mental health conditions. The bill authorizes $10 million annually for five years and requires the VA to provide veterinary insurance for service dogs.
