VETRA Act

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to run a pilot program to update how people prove their identity and log in to VA online services. The VA would test the new identity tools on up to three online platforms, such as disability claims, health care enrollment, education benefits, or home loans. The tools would have to be commercial products that meet federal identity and login security standards, and the pilot could use up to $25 million from existing VA technology funds. The VA would report to Congress, the Government Accountability Office would evaluate the pilot, and the program would end two years after the law takes effect unless Congress acts.
