What it does

The Fit Vets Act would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a three-year pilot program providing eligible enrolled veterans with access to SilverSneakers or a comparable evidence-based senior exercise program as part of their VA health care. The program could be implemented nationally or regionally, with eligibility limited to veterans enrolled in the VA patient enrollment system who meet additional criteria set by the Secretary. Upon termination, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress detailing participation rates, costs, health outcomes, and recommendations on whether to make the program permanent.
