VA Bonus and Relocation Recovery Act
Refreshed 4 h ago
Introduced 2026-02-02Topic: veterans military · governance ethics · laborSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let the Secretary of Veterans Affairs order former Department of Veterans Affairs employees, not only current employees, to repay awards, bonuses, and relocation expenses under existing recoupment rules. If the Director upholds the Secretary's order and the former employee does not repay within 180 days of the Director's final decision, the Secretary could collect the amount like any other debt owed to the United States. The bill states that the Secretary may not waive recovery of these amounts under the section of law that normally allows waivers of certain debts.
