Limiting Executive Bonuses at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

This bill aims to restrict the payment of high "critical skill incentives" to Senior Executive Service (SES) employees within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The changes are intended to ensure that taxpayer money is spent more effectively, directing incentives to employees who directly serve veterans rather than to central office executives. Citizens can expect greater transparency in VA spending, as the act mandates quarterly reports on all executive bonuses awarded.
Key points
Prohibits the provision of "critical skill incentives" to SES executives whose positions are based out of the VA's central office, regardless of their actual work location.
Requires individual approval for critical skill incentives for non-central SES executives by five different high-ranking VA officials (including Under Secretaries and the General Counsel).
Mandates quarterly reporting to Congress on all critical skill incentives provided to VA SES employees, increasing oversight and public spending transparency.
