This amendment, submitted by Ms. Blunt Rochester, is about holding our government accountable to the people who served our country. It proposes a deficit-neutral reserve fund related to requiring an impact assessment by the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

  • Assess Workforce Reductions: It looks at the large-scale workforce reduction happening at medical clinics and outpatient facilities of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
  • Protect Veterans: It examines the potential effects these workforce cuts might have on service delivery, veteran wait times, and overall health care quality.
  • Budget Adjustments: It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations and adjustments as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
