    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). It. is comprised of three organizations that administer veterans
    programs: the Veterans Health Administration, the Veterans Benefits
    Administration, and the National Cemetery Administration. Each
    organization has field facilities and a central office component.

    Activities

    Cemeteries  The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) provides services
    to veterans, active duty personnel, and reservists and National Guard
    members with 20 years' qualifying service and their families by
    operating national cemeteries; furnishing headstones and markers for the
    unmarked graves of U.S. veterans worldwide, service members, and
    reservists and National Guard members with 20 years' qualifying service;
    awarding grants to aid States in establishing, improving, and expanding
    veterans cemeteries; and serving as the operations element for the
    Presidential Memorial Certificate Program.
    Center for Minority Veterans  The Center for Minority Veterans was
    established under Public Law 103-446 (108 Stat. 4645) and is responsible
    for promoting the use of VA benefits, programs, and services by minority
    veterans and assessing the needs of minority group members. The work of
    the Center focuses on the unique and special needs of five distinct
    groups of veterans: African-Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans,
    Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans, which include American Indians,
    Native Hawaiians, and Alaskan Natives.
    Center for Women Veterans  The Center for Women Veterans acts as the
    Secretary's primary adviser on women veterans issues and evaluates VA
    programs, policies, and practices to ensure they are responsive and
    accessible to eligible women veterans.
    Health Services  The Veterans Health Administration, formerly the
    Veterans Health Services and Research

    [[Page 362]]

    T186873.029

    [[Page 363]]

    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 conducts both individual medical and
    health-care delivery research projects and multihospital research
    programs, and 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.
    Veterans Benefits  The Veterans Benefits Administration provides
    information, advice, and assistance to veterans, their dependents,
    beneficiaries, representatives, and others applying for VA benefits. It
    also 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 Compensation and Pension Service is responsible for claims for
    disability compensation and pension, specially adapted housing, accrued
    benefits, adjusted compensation in death cases, and reimbursement for
    headstone or marker; allowances for automobiles and special adaptive
    equipment; special clothing allowances; emergency officers' retirement
    pay; survivors' claims for death compensation, dependency and indemnity
    compensation, death pension, and burial and plot allowance claims;
    forfeiture determinations; and a benefits protection program for minors
    and incompetent adult beneficiaries.
        The Education Service is responsible for the Montgomery GI Bill,
    assistance programs for dependents, post-Vietnam era veterans, and other
    pilot programs, school approvals, compliance surveys, and work study
    programs.
        Life insurance operations for the benefit of service members,
    veterans, and their beneficiaries are available through the regional
    office and insurance center (phone, 800-669-8477) in Philadelphia, PA,
    which provides the full range of functional activities necessary for a
    national life insurance program. Activities include the complete
    maintenance of individual accounts, underwriting functions, life and
    death insurance claims awards, and any other insurance-related
    transactions. The agency also administers the Veterans Mortgage Life
    Insurance Program for those disabled veterans who receive a VA grant for
    specially adapted housing; the Servicemen's Group Life Insurance
    Program; and the Veterans Group Life Insurance Program.
        Loan guaranty operations include appraising properties to establish
    their values; approving grants for specially adapted housing;
    supervising the construction of new residential properties; establishing
    the eligibility of veterans for the program; evaluating the ability of a
    veteran to repay a loan and the credit risk; making direct loans to
    Native American veterans to acquire a home on trust land; servicing and
    liquidating defaulted loans; and disposing of real estate acquired as
    the consequence of defaulted loans.
        The Vocational Rehabilitation Service is responsible for outreach,
    motivation, evaluation, counseling, training, employment, and other
    rehabilitation services to disabled veterans; evaluation, counseling,
    and miscellaneous services to veterans and service persons 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; affirmative action activities; and vocational
    training and rehabilitation to children with spina bifida who are
    children of Vietnam veterans.
    Veterans' Appeals  The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) is responsible
    for entering the final appellate decisions in claims of entitlement to
    veterans' benefits and for deciding matters concerning fees charged by
    attorneys and agents for representation of veterans before VA and
    requests for revision of prior BVA decisions on the basis of clear and
    unmistakable error. Final Board

    [[Page 364]]

    decisions are appealable to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans
    Claims.
    Field Facilities  The Department's operations are handled through the
    following field facilities:
        --cemeteries, the final resting places for burial of the remains of
    veterans, active duty personnel, and reservists and National Guard
    members with 20 years' qualifying service; their spouses; and certain
    eligible dependents;
        --domiciliaries, providing the least intensive level of inpatient
    medical care including 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;
        --medical centers, providing 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;
        --outpatient clinics to provide eligible beneficiaries with
    ambulatory care; and
        --regional offices to 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 making awards for disability compensation and
    pension; supervise payment of VA benefits to incompetent beneficiaries;
    provide vocational rehabilitation and employment training; administer
    educational benefits; guarantee loans for purchase, construction, or
    alteration of homes; process grants for specially adapted housing;
    process death claims; and assist veterans in exercising rights to
    benefits and services.
