U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, a state-owned entity headquartered in the US, was founded in 1989 and employs approximately 378,000 individuals. Functioning as an executive branch department of the federal government, it provides healthcare services.
On May 2, 2026, a federal watchdog report, released on April 24 by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General, found that VA Loma Linda Healthcare System failed to promptly conduct patient peer reviews, citing oversight breakdowns and delayed patient-safety reviews due to lapses in supervision. Also on May 2, Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) pressed U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs officials to protect veterans' access to maternal health care, securing a commitment from the VA to work towards passing her Maternal Health for Veterans Act into law. Previously, on May 1, the White House, via an executive order signed on Thursday, moved to revamp federal contracting practices by making cost-reimbursement structures the exception rather than the rule, a policy shift noted in a May 1 federal market brief prioritizing fixed-price contracts across federal agencies. This follows efforts by Indiana Senator Jim Banks, who on April 30, backed new bipartisan legislation, the "Faster VA Construction Act," aimed at speeding up VA facility construction by allowing the department to use commercial building codes instead of federal standards, potentially cutting delays and reducing project costs.
