HB 4639 establishes a Veterans Health Care Coverage Program to help uninsured veterans obtain health care coverage, including mental health services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission must seek federal Medicaid waivers to fund the program. Eligible veterans will receive financial assistance on a sliding scale, with additional subsidies for co-pays and deductibles. The bill prioritizes employment incentives for veterans and integrates program outreach with workforce development programs.
