H.R. 5870, Veteran Appeals Transparency Act of 2024 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (2 pages)
Congress 118th
Date Requested May 1, 2024
Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Date Sent May 17, 2024
Description:
H.R. 5870 would require the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA) to publish on a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) website the appeals cases that have been assigned to the board for a decision during the upcoming week and the date on which those appeals were filed with the court. (BVA is a component of VA that hears appeals on matters affecting VA benefits.) The schedule also would include a disclaimer on each weekly notice that an assignment does not require the board to issue a decision in that week. Because BVA already has the information it would be required to publish, CBO estimates that satisfying the requirement would cost less than $500,000 over the 2024-2029 period. Any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
