In Committee

Summary

Independent Comptroller General review of VA medical care budget requests. This bill would require the Comptroller General to review the Department of Veterans Affairs' medical care account budget requests in the President's budget for fiscal years 2026–2028 and to report the results to congressional committees with jurisdiction over Veterans' Affairs, Appropriations, and the Budget.

Show full summary
  • Congressional oversight committees: Would receive independent reports on the President's VA medical care budget requests for FY2026–FY2028, with timing and scope arranged in consultation with those committees.
  • VA budget and program staff: The reviews would cover four specific Veterans Health Administration accounts: Medical Services, Medical Support and Compliance, Medical Facilities, and Medical Community Care, making those submissions the focus of GAO scrutiny.
  • Budget process and authorities: The requirement would rely on the President's budget submission process under 31 U.S.C. 1105 and the Comptroller General's reporting duties to create an external, multi year review and reporting mechanism.
