Last fall, the VA’s Inspector General found that that the VA made false reports to Congress about patient wait times, repeatedly understating how long injured veterans waited for care.

• Congress held hearings last year in response to disclosures that top and mid-level managers received very large bonuses, despite their poor track records in health care budgeting and managing disability claims. Yet, high performing employees on the front lines of health care and claims processing rarely receive bonuses, even when recruitment and retention problems exist.

Congressional Action Needed:

• Enact H.R. 2514, Assured Funding for Veterans Health Care Act to fund VA health care with mandatory dollars based on current need and health care costs.
• Require the VA to carry out GAO’s recommendation to implement a mechanism to track all costs associated with conducting cost comparison and Business Process Reengineering studies, and provide quarterly reports to Congress on all costs associated with these studies.
• Increase oversight of the VA’s bonus policies to ensure that bonuses at all levels are aligned with performance and set at equitable levels for all employees. Require regular disclosure of bonus awards to Congress and employee representatives.
