Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement today after the House passed H.R. 280, to authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to recoup bonuses and awards paid to employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs, by voice vote, and H.R. 294, the Long-Term Care Veterans Choice Act, by a bi-partisan vote of 405-0:

“Two of the biggest issues facing the Department of Veterans Affairs are a lack of accountability and its inability to adapt to the ever-changing needs of veterans. These two bills address both by recouping the bonuses of poorly performing VA executives and expanding access to medical foster home care. These cost-saving, commonsense bills are indicative of the good work being done in Congress on behalf of America’s veterans.”  - Congressman French Hill
