REMINDER: FY22 Fraud, Waste and Abuse Mandatory Compliance Webinar  

 

It is incumbent on an SSVF awarded organization to report all instances of potential or actual fraud as soon as your organization is made aware of the issue. Notifying your Regional Coordinator and the Program Office is an essential part of keeping in compliance with the executed Memorandum of Award as outlined in Sections 2, 4, 7, 8, 15 and 20. Please ensure all SSVF staff are required yearly to review the FY22 Fraud, Waste and Abuse webinar which can be found at Slide 1 (va.gov)

RESOURCE: Suicide Prevention Month Tool Kit Available Now 

 

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and we want Veterans to know that they don’t have to solve life’s challenges alone.  

 

Suicide is a complex problem, and stressful life events like divorce or job loss can be risk factors. VA.gov/REACH offers resources to help support Veterans across a wide range of challenges, before these problems become overwhelming.  

 

Suicide is preventable, and we all have a role to play. Help us spread the word with the “Don’t Wait. Reach Out.” campaign toolkit here.
