What this amendment would do

SA 3009, submitted by Mrs. Shaheen, aims to add a requirement for a report regarding the use of third-party contractors who perform medical disability examinations for veterans seeking disability compensation.

The amendment would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to submit this report to the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations and Veterans' Affairs within 180 days of the Act's enactment.

The report must include the following details:

  • The number of contractors used for these examinations in each State.
  • Measures regarding the quality and performance of the contracts.
  • The average distance a veteran must travel for an examination, broken down by State.
  • The average wait time to get an examination.
  • How the Department handles veteran complaints about their experience with a contracted examiner.
