DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The 2009 budget provides $47,231 million in gross discretionary funding for veterans health, benefits, and other services, including $44,764 million in net discretionary budget authority and $2,467 million in anticipated medical collections. One of VA’s highest priorities is to provide high-quality, accessible, and timely health care for veterans returning from service in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The President’s 2009 budget request provides the resources necessary to ensure that service members’ transition from active duty military status to civilian life continues to be as smooth and seamless as possible. f VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION Federal Funds et seq.): $3,517,000,000, plus reimbursements, of which $250,000,000 shall be available until September 30, 2009.¿ (Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008.)

This includes $34.0 billion in appropriated budget authority and $2.5 billion to be collected in the Medical Care Collections Fund. The budget is proposing a set of legislative proposals that will be submitted to the authorizing committees of Congress recommending the enhancement of health care benefits for our veterans; these proposals will be outlined in the Department’s budget submission. The budget also includes an additional set of mandatory legislative proposals that are not reflected in the Medical Services appropriation request. These proposals are discussed at the end of the narrative for Medical Services. The appropriation request reflects the full funding request for Medical Services to care for our veterans. Medical Services.—Provides for a comprehensive, integrated health care delivery system that addresses the needs of eligible veterans and beneficiaries in VA medical centers, outpatient clinic facilities, contract hospitals, State homes, and outpatient programs on a fee basis. Hospital and outpatient care is also provided by the private sector for certain dependents and survivors of veterans under the Civilian Health and Medical Programs for the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA). In the FY 2009 request, the Medical Administration appropriation is being consolidated into the Medical Services appropriation. Merging these two accounts will improve the execution of the budget and will allow VA to respond rapidly to VerDate Aug 31 2005 Provision of Veterans Health Care— Acute hospital care.—Costs for 2009 are estimated to be $6,923 million for operating medical, neurological, surgical, contract and State home hospital beds.

Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF).—VA estimates collections of $2.5 billion, representing 7 percent of available resources. VA has the authority to collect inpatient and outpatient co-payments, medication co-payments, and nursing home co-payments; authority for certain income verification; authority to recover third-party insurance payments from veterans for nonservice-connected conditions; and authority to collect revenue from enhanced use leases. These collections also include those collected from the Compensated Work Therapy Program, Compensation and Living Expenses Program, and the Parking Program.

Authorizing legislation for these proposals will be transmitted separately from the budget to the authorizing committees of Congress. This legislation will propose three changes to VA’s fee structure that will result in additional receipts to the Treasury. These additional receipts will be classified as mandatory and will not reduce the Medical Services appropriation request, which has been made in full. These proposals will: assess a tiered annual enrollment fee based on the family income of the veteran; increase the pharmacy co-payment from $8 to $15 for all Priority 7 and Priority 8 veterans; and eliminate the third-party offset to first-party debt. The first proposal is the tiered annual enrollment fee which is structured to charge $250 for veterans with family incomes from $50,000 to $74,999; $500 for those with family incomes from $75,000 to $99,999; and $750 for those with family incomes equal to or greater than $100,000. This proposal is estimated to contribute over $129 million to the Treasury annually, beginning in 2010, and will increase receipts over 5 years by $514 million. The second proposal is the pharmacy co-payment proposal which is projected to contribute $335 million to the Treasury beginning in 2009 and will increase receipts by $1.6 billion over five years. The third proposal eliminates the current practice of VA offsetting or reducing third-party billings to insurance companies based upon the direct co-payment responsibilities of the veteran. This proposal will increase receipts by $44 million beginning in FY 2009 and $215 million over five years. Note: In 2008, $2,012,000,000 in contingency funds will be used for: increasing staffing levels and purchasing medical equipment needed to continue delivering high-quality health care services. The additional personnel will enable VA to: improve access to care for veterans; address new initiatives related to mental health and substance abuse services, outpatient services for blind veterans, and for Vet Centers; provide enhanced case management for OIF/OEF veterans; and address the material weakness identified by the external financial statement auditors. Object Classification (in millions of dollars) Access to Medical Care.—VA’s strategy is to improve access and timeliness of service by reducing waiting times in specialty and primary care clinics in medical centers nationwide, and by relying more extensively on non-institutional forms of long-term care.

The Research program will support 3,201 FTE through direct appropriation and a total of over 15,000 research staff through all funding sources. This account is an intramural program whose mission is to conduct research focused on the special health care needs of veterans and to balance the discovery of new knowledge and the application of these discoveries to advance the health and care of veterans and the Nation. VA is uniquely positioned to move scientific discovery from investigators’ laboratories to patient care. In turn, VA clinician investigators identify new research questions for the laboratory at the patient’s bedside, making the research program one of VA’s most effective tools to improve the care of veterans. Embedding research within an integrated health care system with a state-of-theart electronic health record creates a national laboratory for the discovery of new medical knowledge and the translation of that knowledge into improved health. VA scientists who partner with colleagues from other Federal agencies, acedemic medical centers, nonprofit organizations and commercial entities nationwide further expand the reach and scope of VA research. Although VA R&D is an intramural program, through VA’s academic affiliations as well as collaborations with other federal agencies, it is fully integrated with the larger biomedical research community. Veterans’ health issues are addressed comprehensively in the following four program divisions and the medical care research support required for these programs: Biomedical Laboratory.—Supports preclinical research to understand life processes from a molecular, genomic, and physiological level in regard to diseases affecting veterans. Clinical Science.—Administers investigations (i.e., human subject research such as drug, surgical, single subject, pilot and multi-center cooperative studies as well as feasibility trials) aimed at instituting new, more effective clinical care. Health Services.—Supports studies to identify and promote effective and efficient strategies to improve the delivery of health care to veterans. Rehabilitation.—Develops novel approaches to restoring veterans with traumatic amputation, central nervous system injuries, loss of sight and/or hearing, or other physical and cognitive impairments to full and productive lives. VA’s Medical and Prosthetic Research programs are included in the Federal Science & Technology (FS&T) budget.

Compensation and vocational rehabilitation is provided to the children of Vietnam veterans who were born with certain birth defects. The Secretary may pay a clothing allowance to each veteran who uses a prescribed medication for a service-connected skin condition or wears a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance (including a wheelchair) which, in the judgment of the Secretary, tends to damage or tear the clothing of such veteran.

A veteran’s entitlement is based on active duty service of a specific length (normally 90 days or more) during a designated war period, disabilities considered permanent and total, and countable income below established levels. There is no disability requirement for survivor cases or veterans age 65 or older. Income support is provided at established benefit levels. An automatic annual cost-of-living increase comparable to the annual social security increase is provided for those pensioners in the improved program and to parents receiving dependency and indemnity compensation.

The Insurance business line administers six life insurance programs, including two trust funds, two public enterprise funds, a trust revolving fund, and Veterans’ Mortgage Life Insurance (VMLI), and supervises two additional programs for the benefit of servicepersons, veterans, and their beneficiaries through contracts with a commercial company. All programs are operated on a commercial basis, to the extent possible, consistent with all applicable statutes. The Insurance appropriation is the funding mechanism for the following administration of the Government life insurance activities: U.S. Government Life Insurance Fund (USGLI); National Service Life Insurance (NSLI); Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance Fund (S-DVI); and Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance (VMLI). Military and Naval Insurance.—Payments are made to the USGLI fund for certain World War I veterans for extra hazards of military service and for claims on war risk insurance issued to servicemen and veterans of World War I. National Service Life Insurance (NSLI).—Payments are made to the NSLI fund for certain World War II veterans for: (a) the extra hazards of service; (b) gratuitous insurance granted to certain persons unable to apply for national service life insurance; and (c) death claims on policies under the waiver of a premium while the insured was on active duty. Payment to Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance Fund (SDVI).—Payments are made to the S-DVI fund to supplement the premiums and other receipts of the fund in amounts necessary to pay claims on insurance policies issued to veterans with service-connected disabilities. Veterans’ Mortgage Life Insurance (VMLI).—Payments are made to mortgage holders under this program, which provides mortgage protection life insurance to veterans who have received a grant for specially adapted housing due to severe disabilities.

The subsidy amounts are estimated on a net present value basis. Veterans housing program account.—The Federal guaranty for this program protects lenders against the following types of losses: (a) for loans of $45,000 or less, 50 percent of the loan is guaranteed; (b) for loans greater than $45,000, but not more than $56,250, $22,500; (c) for loans more than $56,250, but less than $144,000, the lesser of $36,000 or 40 percent of the loan; or (d) for loans in excess of $144,000 the guarantee will be the lesser of: 25 percent of the Freddie Mac conforming loan limit for a single family residence, as adjusted for the year involved; or 25 percent of the loan; or the veteran’s available entitlement. Guaranteed transitional housing loans for homeless veterans program account.—Public Law 105–368, the ‘‘Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 1998,’’ established a pilot project designed to expand the supply of transitional housing for homeless veterans and to guarantee up to 15 investment loans with a maximum aggregate value of $100 million. The project must enforce sobriety standards and provide a wide range of supportive services such as counseling for substance abuse and job readiness skills. Residents will be required to pay a reasonable fee. This appropriation provides for the corporate leadership and operational support to VA’s housing business line. The Housing program facilitates the extension of private capital, on more liberal terms than generally available to nonveterans, to: assist veterans and servicepersons in obtaining housing credit; and assist veterans in retaining their homes during periods of temporary economic difficulty through intensive supplemental mortgage loan servicing. 2007 actual 232999 Weighted average subsidy rate ..................................... ¥0.36 Guaranteed loan subsidy budget authority: 233001 Housing Guaranteed Loans ............................................ ¥87 233002 Guaranteed Loan Sale Securities .................................. ................... 234999 Total subsidy outlays .....................................................

The National Cemetery Administration’s vision is to serve all veterans and their families with the utmost dignity, respect, and compassion. Every national cemetery will be a place that inspires visitors to understand and appreciate the service and sacrifice of our Nation’s veterans. There are four related programs managed by the National Cemetery Administration including: (1) burying eligible veterans and their family members in national cemeteries and maintaining the graves and their environs as national shrines; (2) administering grants to States in establishing, expanding, or improving State veteran cemeteries; (3) providing headstones and markers for the graves of eligible veterans in national, State, and private cemeteries; and (4) providing presidential memorial certificates to family and friends of deceased veterans, recognizing the veterans’ contribution and service to the Nation. Note: In 2008, $28,191,000 in contingency funds will be used to correct gravesite deficiencies at VA’s national cemeteries, including those identified in the 2002 Millennium Act report to Congress. These repairs involve gravesite renovation projects to replace turf, repair sunken graves, and raise, realign and clean headstones.
