The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is set to undergo a significant reorganization requiring the dismissal of over 80,000 employees. The aim is to revert staffing levels to just under 400,000, as recorded in 2019. This adjustment follows a previous expansion during the Biden administration and aims to align with the agency’s objectives after the 2022 PACT Act. Despite the extensive layoffs, VA Secretary Doug Collins assures veterans that their health care and benefits will remain unaffected. The reorganization reflects the administration's broader commitment to reforming government efficiency amid criticism from veterans' groups.
The VA is planning a reorganization that includes cutting over 80,000 jobs to return to 2019 staffing levels, according to an internal memo.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins stated that the administration plans significant changes without cutting veterans' health care or benefits.
