VA: Pause in federal grants, assistance and loans won’t impact health care, benefits

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs issues statement in response to Memorandum M-25-13.

 In response to the Office of Management and Budget’s Jan. 27 memo (M-25-13) regarding temporarily pausing certain agency grant, loan and financial assistance programs, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced it has conducted a comprehensive analysis of all its federal financial assistance programs and consulted with OMB.

VA has determined that all 44 of its financial assistance programs will continue uninterrupted and that all VA programs and operations will continue uninterrupted.

“This will have no impact on VA health care, benefits or beneficiaries,” said Acting VA Secretary Todd Hunter.
