The U.S. Veterans Administration is also directed to report to the Appropriations Committee whether it is feasibility to assign full-time, permanent VBA, Vet Center, and VHA staff in the Marianas and other underserved areas. The report must include feedback from Marianas' veterans and their families about their satisfactionor lack thereofwith the care and services they are receiving. An audit of hiring practices is also required to determine whether the VA is fully using its existing authorities to recruit and retain qualified staff to serve Pacific veterans. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
