What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Stop GREED Act of 2025," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code. It seeks to place limitations on the provision of critical skill incentives for employees within the Department of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, it targets employees in Senior Executive Service positions or comparable senior-level systems. The legislation establishes restrictions for those working at the Central Office of the Department. It also creates specific approval requirements for other senior-level employees. Finally, it mandates annual reporting to Congressional committees regarding these incentives.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Restriction of incentives for Central Office executives: The bill prevents the provision of critical skill incentives to employees in Senior Executive Service positions or comparable senior-level systems whose position is at the Central Office, including the Veterans Health Administration, the Veterans Benefits Administration, and the National Cemetery Administration (Section 2, subparagraph (A)).
-
Increased oversight for senior-level incentives: For senior-level employees not at the Central Office, incentives can only be provided on an individual basis rather than to a group, and they require approval from several specific officers, such as the Under Secretaries, the Assistant Secretary for Human Resources and Administration, and the General Counsel (Section 2, subparagraph (B)(i)).
-
Enhanced Congressional accountability: The Secretary is required to submit an annual report to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and the House regarding employees in Senior Executive Service positions or comparable systems who were provided a critical skill incentive (Section 2, subparagraph (C)(i)).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Proportionate incentive limits for hybrid employees: Employees in senior-level positions who perform some job functions at facilities other than the Central Office will have their incentives limited to be proportionate to the time spent at those non-Central Office facilities (Section 2, subparagraph (B)(ii)).
