Senior Executive Service employees at the VA's Central Office headquarters are now completely banned from receiving critical skill incentive bonuses. For senior leaders based at other VA facilities, bonuses can only be awarded on an individual basis (not to groups) and require approval from multiple top officials. This limits the VA's ability to use financial incentives to retain top leadership talent at headquarters.

President Trump signed the PRO Veterans Act, which prohibits the VA from providing recruitment and retention incentives to Senior Executive Service members in its central office. It also requires quarterly in-person budget briefings to Congress to address previous financial mismanagement.
The PRO Veterans Act permanently establishes the VA's Veterans Experience Office (VEO). While the office has existed since 2015, the new law formally directs agency heads to report customer experience metrics and ensures the office cannot be cut without legislative protection.
The PRO Veterans Act of 2025 introduces new oversight for VA budgeting and places limitations on critical skill incentives for senior executives. The law aims to prevent future budget shortfalls and ensure that funds are used for frontline services rather than administrative bonuses.
