The Department of Veterans Affairs announced the dismissal of 1,400 probationary employees in non-mission critical roles, including diversity, equity, and inclusion positions. This decision is aimed at saving over $83 million each year, which will be redirected to enhance health care and other services for veterans. This move follows a previous layoff of 1,000 employees and aims to ensure that mission-critical functions remain unaffected. VA Secretary Doug Collins reassured that these cuts will not hinder the delivery of care, with plans to better utilize resources in the future.
These and other recent personnel decisions are extraordinarily difficult, but VA is focused on allocating its resources to help as many Veterans, families, caregivers, and survivors as possible.
These moves will not hurt VA health care, benefits or beneficiaries. In fact, Veterans are going to notice a change for the better.
