Say What? Senator Admits To VA Nominee Stall

This week, that senator has a name. As reported by Stars & Stripes, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn, is the lawmaker responsible for the stall. Blackburn argued Tuesday that she will delay confirmation until the agency indefinitely. That is, until VA provides its official position on the cost and implementation of the Comprehensive and Overdue Support for Troops of War Act of 2021. The confirmations impacted by the hold or stall include: Donald Remy: nominated to be the Deputy Secretary (top middle) Matthew Quinn: nominated to be under secretary for memorial affairs (bottom right) Maryanne Donaghy: nominated to lead VA’s whistleblower protection office (bottom middle)

Stars and Stripes - VA defends request for 15% increase in medical funding

VA defends request for 15% increase in medical funding by WASHINGTON Department of Veterans Affairs officials went to the Senate on Wednesday and defended President Joe Biden’s request for a 10% increase for the agency, including a 15% boost in funding for medical care. Biden proposed a total budget of $296.9 billion for the VA in fiscal year 2022. Of that amount, $97.5 billion would go toward veterans’ medical care. Congress ultimately determines the VA’s budget, and some Republicans have quizzed VA Secretary Denis McDonough about the need for the increase. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., questioned him Wednesday during a hearing of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee.

Stars and Stripes - Senator holds up confirmation process for key VA positions

Senator holds up confirmation process for key VA positionsÂ by WASHINGTON â Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., insisted on the Senate floor Tuesday that she would delay the confirmation process for key Department of Veterans Affairs positions until the VA secretary responds to her requests for information about a piece of legislation. Â Blackburn, a member of the Senate Veteransâ Affairs Committee, voted last month to advance four VA nominees to the Senate floor. However, she placed a hold on the confirmation process, keeping the nominees from being confirmed and sworn into their jobs. Â Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., the chairman of the committee, went to the Senate floor Tuesday and asked senators to confirm the nominees by unanimous consent. Blackburn objected. She said she would continue to object until VA Secretary Denis McDonough responded to her request for feedback about the Cost of War Act, which would extend disability benefits to veterans of all eras
