Personal Impact
Life & Work
VA employees at the Veterans Benefits Administration and the Board of Veterans' Appeals face new accountability measures. Workers who make avoidable errors will be notified directly, and appeals board members will be reviewed annually instead of every three years. At the same time, new training programs could help employees do their jobs better. However, the bill also protects drafting staff by barring managers from blaming them for a Board member's mistakes in performance reviews.
“With respect to any performance review of a covered employee, the Secretary may not consider the timeliness or quality of work of any Member of the Board.”
