Extends VA's ability to pay critical healthcare staff above normal limits for five more years.
This bill would extend the Department of Veterans Affairs' power to waive pay limits for critical healthcare workers. This means the VA could keep offering competitive pay to attract and keep essential staff for five more years, helping ensure veterans get the care they need.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs has the power to waive pay limits for critical healthcare staff, but this power has an existing, unspecified termination date. If this bill becomes law, the VA's power to waive these pay limits would be extended and would clearly end five years after the bill is signed into law.
