Purpose and Summary

Forwarded by Subcommittee to Full Committee by Voice Vote.
Bill 119 hr 1823, also known as the "Veterans Affairs Funding Shortfalls Reporting Act," aims to address funding shortfalls within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Comptroller General of the United States to report on specific funding gaps that may be hindering the VA's ability to effectively serve our nation's veterans.

The bill requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide a detailed report to Congress outlining any funding shortfalls within the VA, including an analysis of how these shortfalls are impacting the delivery of services to veterans. Additionally, the Comptroller General of the United States is tasked with conducting an independent review of the VA's financial management practices to identify any areas where funding may be falling short.

By requiring these reports, the bill aims to shed light on any financial challenges facing the VA and provide Congress with the information needed to address these issues and ensure that our veterans receive the care and support they deserve. This bipartisan effort underscores the importance of transparency and accountability within the VA, and highlights the ongoing commitment to improving services for our nation's veterans.
