  1. 01

    How would identifying which VA programs experienced funding shortfalls in 2024-2025 help Congress decide on future veteran healthcare budgets?

  2. 02

    What specific gaps in VA services does Congress expect this GAO investigation to uncover that current budget processes might be missing?

  3. 03

    Without a defined timeline or funding allocation for the GAO investigation itself, how will delays in reporting affect veterans experiencing program disruptions?
