________________________________________________________________________
The Department of Veterans Affairs operates programs to benefit veterans 
and members of their families. Benefits include compensation payments 
for disabilities or death related to military service; pensions; 
education and rehabilitation; home loan guaranty; burial; and a medical 
care program incorporating nursing homes, clinics, and medical centers.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was established as an executive 
department by the Department of Veterans Affairs Act (38 U.S.C. 201 
note). The Department's predecessor, the Veterans Administration, had 
been established as an independent agency under the President by 
Executive Order 5398 of July 21, 1930, in accordance with the act of 
July 3, 1930 (46 Stat. 1016). This act authorized the President to 
consolidate and coordinate the U.S. Veterans Bureau, the Bureau of 
Pensions, and the National Home for Volunteer Soldiers.

[[Page 486]]

    The Department of Veterans Affairs comprises three organizations 
that administer veterans programs: the Veterans Health Administration, 
the Veterans Benefits Administration, and the National Cemetery System. 
Each organization has field facilities and a Central Office component. 
The Central Office also includes separate offices that provide support 
to the top organizations' operations as well as to top VA executives. 
Top Central Office managers, including the Inspector General and General 
Counsel, report to the highest level of Department management, which 
consists of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Deputy Secretary.
Assistant Secretaries  Five Assistant Secretaries provide policy 
guidance, operational support, and managerial oversight to the Secretary 
and Deputy Secretary, the administrations, and other top offices. They 
include the Assistant Secretaries of Finance and Information Resources 
Management, Policy and Planning, Human Resources and Administration, 
Public and Intergovernmental Affairs, and Congressional Affairs. Other 
central management offices are detailed as follows.
Board of Veterans' Appeals  The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) is 
responsible, on behalf of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, for 
entering the final appellate decisions in claims of entitlement to 
veterans' benefits. The Board is also responsible for deciding matters 
concerning fees charged by attorneys and agents for representation of 
veterans before VA. The mission of the Board, set forth in title 38 of 
the United States Code, sections 7101-7109, is to conduct hearings, 
consider and dispose of appeals properly before the Board in a timely 
manner, and issue quality decisions in compliance with the law. The 
Board is headed by a Chairman, who is appointed by the President and 
confirmed by the Senate, and who is directly responsible to the 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Members of the Board are appointed by the 
Secretary with the approval of the President and are under the 
administrative control and supervision of the Chairman. Each BVA 
decision is signed by a Board member acting as an agent of the 
Secretary. Final BVA decisions are appealable to the United States Court 
of Veterans Appeals.
Board of Contract Appeals  The Board of Contract Appeals was established 
on March 1, 1979, pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 
U.S.C. 601-613). The Board is a statutory, quasi-judicial tribunal that 
hears and decides appeals from decisions of Contracting Officers on 
claims relating to contracts awarded by VA, or by any other agency when 
such agency or the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy has 
designated the Board to decide the appeal.
    In August 1985, the Board's jurisdiction was expanded to include 
applications for attorney fees and expenses under the Equal Access to 
Justice Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 504 note). Board decisions are final 
within VA, but may be appealed, either by the Government or by the 
contractor, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal 
Circuit.
    The Board also acts as a trier of disputed material facts in 
debarment/suspension proceedings. Additionally, the Chairman of the 
Board is the senior official within the Department to promote alternate 
dispute resolution pursuant to the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act 
(5 U.S.C. 581 note). Finally, the Board is charged with resolving any 
disputes between drug manufacturers and the Secretary with regard to 
pharmaceutical pricing agreements provisions of the Veterans Health Care 
Act of 1992 (38 U.S.C. 101 note).

Health Services

The Veterans Health Administration, formerly the Veterans Health 
Services and Research Administration, provides hospital, nursing home, 
and domiciliary care, and outpatient medical and dental care to eligible 
veterans of military service in the Armed Forces. It operates 171 
medical centers, 35 domiciliaries, 340 outpatient clinics, 127 nursing 
home care units, and 196 Vietnam Veteran 

[[Page 487]]
Outreach Centers in the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 
and the Republic of the Philippines, and provides for similar care under 
VA auspices in non-VA hospitals and community nursing homes and for 
visits by veterans to non-VA physicians and dentists for outpatient 
treatment. It also supports veterans under care in hospitals, nursing 
homes, and domiciliaries operated by 35 States. Under the Civilian 
Health and Medical Program, dependents of certain veterans are provided 
with medical care supplied by non-VA institutions and physicians.
    The Administration conducts both individual medical and health-care 
delivery research projects and multihospital research programs. It 
assists in the education of physicians and dentists, and with training 
of many other health care professionals through affiliations with 
educational institutions and organizations. These programs are all 
conducted as prescribed by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs pursuant to 
sections 4101-4115 of title 38 of the United States Code and other 
statutory authority and regulations.

Veterans Benefits

The Veterans Benefits Administration, formerly the Department of 
Veterans Benefits, conducts an integrated program of veterans benefits.
Compensation and Pension  The Compensation and Pension Service has 
responsibility for:
    --claims for disability compensation and pension;
    --automobile allowances and special adaptive equipment;
    --claims for specially adapted housing;
    --special clothing allowances;

    --survivors' claims for death compensation, dependency and indemnity 
compensation, death pension, burial and plot allowance claims;
    --claims for accrued benefits;
    --forfeiture determinations;
    --claims for adjusted compensation in death cases; and
    --claims for reimbursement for headstone or marker.
Education  The Education Service has responsibility for: the Montgomery 
GI Bill--Active Duty and Selected Reserve (chapters 30 and 106); the 
Post Vietnam Era Veterans' Educational Assistance Program (chapter 32); 
the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program (chapter 
35); the Section 901 Test Program; and school approvals and compliance 
surveys.
Vocational Rehabilitation  The Vocational Rehabilitation Service has 
responsibility for: outreach, motivation, evaluation, counseling, 
training, employment, and other rehabilitation services to disabled 
veterans (chapters 31 and 15); evaluation, counseling, and miscellaneous 
services to veterans and servicepersons (chapter 30) and other VA 
education programs; evaluation, counseling, education, and miscellaneous 
services to sons, daughters, and spouses of totally and permanently 
disabled veterans and to surviving orphans, widows, or widowers of 
certain deceased veterans, including rehabilitation services to certain 
handicapped dependents (chapter 35); and affirmative action activities.
Loan Guaranty  Loan guaranty operations include: appraising properties 
to establish their values; supervising the construction of new 
residential properties; establishing the eligibility of veterans for the 
program; passing on the ability of a veteran to repay a loan and the 
credit risk; servicing and liquidating defaulted loans; and disposing of 
real estate acquired as the consequence of defaulted loans.
Insurance  Life insurance operations are for the benefit of service 
members, veterans, and their beneficiaries. The day-to-day processing of 
all matters related to individual insurance accounts is handled by the 
Regional Office and Insurance Centers in Philadelphia, PA, and St. Paul, 
MN. These two centers provide the full range of functional activities 
necessary for a national life 

[[Page 488]]
insurance program. Activities include the complete maintenance of 
individual accounts, underwriting functions, and life and death 
insurance claims awards, as well as any other insurance-related 
transactions.
    The agency is also responsible for the administration of the 
Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance program for those disabled veterans who 
receive a VA grant for specially adapted housing. Accounts are 
maintained at the Regional Office and Insurance Center in St. Paul, MN.
    In addition, the agency is responsible for supervising the 
Servicemen's Group Life Insurance (SGLI) and Veterans Group Life 
Insurance (VGLI) programs. Both programs are handled through the Office 
of Servicemen's Group Life Insurance, 231 Washington Street, Newark, NJ 
07102.
Veterans Assistance  Through the Veterans Assistance Service, 
information, advice, and assistance are provided to veterans, their 
dependents and beneficiaries, representatives, and others in applying 
for benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. In 
addition, the Veterans Assistance Service cooperates with the Department 
of Labor and other Federal, State, and local agencies in developing 
employment opportunities for veterans, and referral for assistance in 
resolving socioeconomic, housing, and other related problems.
    The Service is responsible for maintaining a benefits protection 
program (fiduciary activities) for minors and incompetent adult 
beneficiaries. It also provides field investigative services for other 
VA components. It ensures compliance by schools and training 
institutions with VA directives. It also ensures compliance with title 
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d); title IX of the 
Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681); section 504 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794); and the Age Discrimination 
Act of 1975, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6101). The programs of the Service 
are provided through VA regional offices, VA medical centers, itinerant 
visits to communities, and a special toll-free telephone service 
available in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
    The Veterans Assistance Service also has the responsibility of 
providing information regarding veterans benefits to the various 
branches of the Armed Forces here and abroad and to veterans residing in 
foreign countries through United States embassies and consular offices, 
and of coordinating veterans' activities with foreign governments.

National Cemetery System

The National Cemetery System (NCS) provides services to veterans, 
reservists, and National Guard members with 20 years' qualifying service 
and their families by operating national cemeteries; furnishing 
headstones and markers for the graves of U.S. veterans, reservists, and 
National Guard members with 20 years' qualifying service worldwide; 
awarding grants to aid States in developing, improving, and expanding 
veterans cemeteries; and serving as the operations element for the 
Presidential Memorial Certificate Program.
    The mission of the National Cemetery System is:
    --to provide, upon request, the interment of eligible 
servicemembers, veterans, reservists, National Guard members with 20 
years' qualifying service, their spouses, and certain children in VA 
national cemeteries and to maintain their graves;
    --to mark, upon application, the graves of eligible veterans, 
reservists, and National Guard members with 20 years' qualifying service 
worldwide who are buried in national, State, or private cemeteries;
    --to administer the State Cemetery Grants Program, which provides 
financial assistance to States for establishing, improving, and 
expanding State veterans cemeteries; and
    --to provide Presidential Memorial Certificates to the loved ones of 
honorably discharged, deceased servicemembers or veterans.
    The National Cemetery area offices, located in Atlanta, GA; 
Philadelphia, PA; and Denver, CO; provide direct support 

[[Page 489]]
to the 114 national cemeteries located throughout the United States and 
Puerto Rico.

Field Facilities

Insurance Centers  Two field sites house all individual insurance 
records covering service members and veterans under the Government-
administered programs: WW I United States Government Life Insurance; WW 
II National Service Life Insurance; Post-Korean Conflict; Veterans 
Reopened Insurance for the disabled of WW II and Korea; and Service-
Disabled Veterans Insurance, the only Government-administered program 
open for new issues to disabled veterans only.
    The two field locations are the VA Regional Office and Insurance 
Centers in Philadelphia, PA, and St. Paul, MN. All World War I insurance 
accounts, accounts for which the premium is paid by allotment from 
military service pay, and those paid by deduction from VA compensation 
or preauthorized debit are located at Philadelphia. All remaining 
insurance accounts are geographically distributed between the two VA 
Centers--with the Mississippi River serving as the approximate line of 
division. The Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Center is also responsible 
for formulating policy for the veterans insurance programs.
    The insurance functions performed by the two field stations include 
the total range of insurance operations to provide individual policy, 
underwriting, and life and death insurance claims service for service 
members, veterans, and their beneficiaries.
Regional Office  Department of Veterans Affairs regional offices:
    --grant benefits and services provided by law for veterans, their 
dependents, and beneficiaries within an assigned territory;
    --furnish information regarding VA benefits and services;
    --adjudicate claims and makes awards for disability compensation and 
pension;
    --supervise the payment of VA benefits to incompetent beneficiaries;
    --aid, guide, and prescribe vocational rehabilitation training and 
administer educational benefits;
    --guarantee loans for purchase of manufactured homes and lots and 
condominium units, purchase or construction or alteration of homes and 
farm residences, and under certain conditions, guarantee refinancing 
loans;
    --process grants for specially adapted housing;
    --process death claims;
    --assist the veteran in exercising rights to benefits and services; 
and
    --supervise VA offices under their jurisdiction.
    The offices are also responsible for veterans assistance activities, 
including coordination of efforts of participating agencies in an 
``outreach'' program to assist returning service members, particularly 
those who are educationally disadvantaged.
    Services to U.S. veterans in most foreign countries normally are 
provided by the VA Regional Office, District of Columbia. The Honolulu 
Regional Office serves the Islands of American Samoa, the Commonwealth 
of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Wake, and Midway and the Trust 
Territory of the Pacific Islands. U.S. veterans in the Virgin Islands 
and Mexico are served by the San Juan and Houston offices, respectively. 
Service is provided in cooperation with embassy staffs of the Department 
of State.
Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office, District of Columbia  
The Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office, District of 
Columbia, is a typical regional office with additional functions. It has 
global jurisdiction and grants benefits and services provided by law for 
veterans and their beneficiaries and dependents residing outside the 
territorial limits of the United States, and it adjudicates certain 
unusual claims and actions not common to all regional offices, such as 
WW I adjusted compensation death cases, forfeiture cases, and benefits 
under special enactments provided by the Congress. It also maintains 
liaison with the Treasury Department on types and methods of 

[[Page 490]]
payments to recipients in foreign countries.
VA Office  The VA office provides veterans assistance and such other 
services as cannot be conveniently provided to veterans, their 
dependents and beneficiaries, and others in a given locality by a 
regional office or center.
Medical Center  Veterans Affairs Medical Centers provide eligible 
beneficiaries with medical and other health care services equivalent to 
those provided by private-sector institutions, augmented in many 
instances by services to meet the special requirements of veterans. One 
hundred and thirty-three VA medical facilities are affiliated with 104 
medical facilities for residency training; 72 VA medical facilities are 
affiliated with 59 dental schools; and all centers cooperate with one or 
more educational institutions in programs of nursing, associated health 
professions and occupations, and administrative training and related 
research, both in individual projects and in association with other VA 
medical centers in broad cooperative studies. There are 106 nursing home 
care units associated with VA medical centers to provide skilled nursing 
care and related medical services to patients who are no longer in need 
of hospital care.
VA Regional Office and Insurance Center  Veterans Affairs Regional 
Office and Insurance Centers combine a regional office and an insurance 
center under the jurisdiction of one director.
VA Medical and Regional Office Center  Veterans Affairs Medical and 
Regional Office Centers combine a regional office and a medical center 
or a regional office, medical center, and domiciliary under the 
jurisdiction of one director.
Domiciliary  Veterans Affairs Domiciliaries provide the least intensive 
level of inpatient medical care. This includes necessary ambulatory 
medical treatment, rehabilitation, and support services in a structured 
environment to veterans who are unable because of their disabilities to 
provide adequately for themselves in the community.
Outpatient Clinic  Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinics provide eligible 
beneficiaries with ambulatory care.
VA National Cemetery  Veterans Affairs national cemeteries are the final 
resting places for burial of the remains of veterans, reservists, and 
National Guard members with 20 years' qualifying service, their spouses, 
and certain eligible dependents. Memorial markers for veterans, 
reservists, and National Guard members with 20 years' qualifying 
service, whose remains are not available for burial, may also be placed 
in a national cemetery. These cemeteries are designated as national 
shrines created in tribute to the sacrifices of all Americans who have 
served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
