AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a new Veterans Economic Opportunity and Transition Administration within the Department of Veterans Affairs, starting October 1, 2027. The new office would run vocational rehabilitation and employment, education assistance, VA home loan, and Transition Assistance programs, led by a new Under Secretary appointed by the President with Senate approval. A commission would recommend candidates when that position is vacant. The bill caps combined full-time staff for this office and the Veterans Benefits Administration at 31,401 in fiscal years 2028 and 2029. Before moving any services to the new office, the VA Secretary must certify to Congress that the move will not negatively affect services to veterans.
