Stop GREED Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill aims to stop high-level executives at the Department of Veterans Affairs from receiving special critical skill bonuses. It specifically targets leaders in the Senior Executive Service who work at the agency's main headquarters in Washington, D.C.
• Top-level managers at the VA Central Office would no longer be eligible for these extra payments. Executives working in regional offices could still get them, but only on an individual basis and with approval from several high-ranking officials like the Under Secretary for Health.
• The bill was created to ensure that extra pay is used to recruit people with rare skills for frontline roles rather than rewarding top bosses in the capital. It follows concerns that these incentives were being used as automatic bonuses for high-paid executives.
• The VA would have to send a report to Congress every year listing every senior executive who received one of these incentives. This is meant to make the process more transparent and hold the agency accountable for how it spends taxpayer money.
