Bill > HR5094

This bill, H.R. 5094, primarily aims to give the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) the authority to reclaim certain bonuses or awards previously given to VA employees. Specifically, it allows the Secretary to order an employee to repay all or part of an award or bonus if the Secretary deems it appropriate, provided the employee is first given notice and a chance to have a hearing. This new authority would apply to bonuses and awards paid before, on, or after the bill's enactment. The bill also includes provisions related to subcontracting requirements for small businesses owned by veterans, a review of lists of former prisoners of war to identify discrepancies, and limitations on the expansion of the VA's dialysis pilot program until further analysis and reporting are completed.
