Last week, House appropriators made good on their promise to not cut the VA budget. The FY2024 VA budget was passed out of its subcommittee, and it provides nearly $18 billion more funding than what the Veterans Administration received in FY2023, which fully funds the budget request for the VA. The bill includes:
- Full funding for veterans’ health care programs; and
- Full funding for veterans’ benefits and VA programs, including the electronic health record modernization initiative.
- Funding and requirements for the VA to improve services for veterans in the Pacific.
I am committed to ensuring that those who have already sacrificed so much for this country receive the care they were promised when they entered out nation’s service. Â
Working on your behalf, in the last four months my office has gotten more than $1 million returned to my constituents in VA benefits, owed tax returns or social security. Please contact me if you need assistance with issues before the VA. My staff and I are here to serve you.
