The
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) plans to
eliminate 80,000 jobs in August as part of an "aggressive"
reorganization, according to an internal memo obtained by the Associated
Press.
The
memo was sent by VA chief of staff Christopher Syrek and informs top-level
officials that they must prepare to "resize and tailor the workforce to
the mission and revised structure."
Agency
officials should work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to
"move out aggressively, while taking a pragmatic and disciplined
approach" to the goals of the administration, according to AP.
The
cutbacks will reduce the VA workforce to just under 400,000, which was its
level in 2019. The Biden administration added tens of thousands of jobs,
including through the 2022 PACT Act, which expanded coverage to veterans
affected by burn pits.
The Hill reported
that the VA has already had several thousand positions eliminated since
President Donald Trump entered the White House.
In
addition, VA Secretary Doug Collins canceled as many as 875
contracts last Tuesday, but the following day that action was delayed by the VA
amid criticism from veterans’ groups and Democrat congressmen.
At
the time, Collins defended the cutback, saying "these and other recent
personnel decisions are extraordinarily difficult, but VA is focused on
allocating its resources to help as many veterans, families, caregivers, and
survivors as possible," according to The Hill. "These moves will not
hurt VA health care, benefits or beneficiaries. In fact, veterans are going to
notice a change for the better."
