  1. 01

    What types of claims processing bottlenecks does the VA currently face that automation could realistically address within one year?

  2. 02

    How might automation in benefits processing affect veterans who lack digital access or prefer working directly with VA staff?

  3. 03

    Without a specified funding amount, how should Congress determine whether the VA has adequate resources to implement and maintain these automation tools?
