Mary Toy: Great, Tom, thank you for having me.
Tom Temin: And so in this round of rounds, you might say, to the different regional areas of VA, you have been doing this virtually, the inspection tell us how that works.
Mary Toy: So because of the COVID-19 pandemic we did convert our scheduled July and September 2020 site visits for VISN (Veterans Integrated Service Networks) 10 and VISN 20 facilities to virtual reviews. We dropped our usual physical inspections with the physical rounds that are done for the environmental care review, and instead initiated an evaluation of COVID readiness and response instead.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) An agency that serves veterans in the Traverse City area plans to hit the road to reach people where they live.
Grand Traverse County commissioners unanimously approved the purchase of a $150,000 vehicle that will be used to reach out to veterans in rural areas as well as in Leelanau County, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported.
“It’s time to take it up a notch and provide services directly where people are, said Michael Roof, director of the county s Veterans Affairs Office.
About $28 million per year from the government goes directly to veterans and their dependents in Grand Traverse, and $4.7 million goes to veterans in Leelanau, Roof said.

A federal judge in San Antonio today sentenced Bradley Lane Croft, owner of Universal K-9, Inc., to 118 months of imprisonment for scheming to defraud the federal government of more than $1.5 million in Veterans Affairs GI Bill benefits to train service canines and their handlers.
In addition to the prison term, Senior U.S. District Judge David A. Ezra ordered that Croft pay $1,506,758.31 in restitution and be placed on supervised release for a period of three years after completing his prison term. Today s sentence demonstrates what can happen to you if you choose to rip off one of the most important benefit programs we have for our veterans. My thanks goes to the prosecutors and our law enforcement partners who worked so hard to see justice served, said U.S. Attorney Ashley C. Hoff.
