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 guarant y; 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 Nati
onal Home for Volunteer Soldiers. 

          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 facilitie s 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 report to the highest level of Department management ,
which consists of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Deputy
Secretary. 

Assistant Secretaries 

Six Assistant Secretaries provide policy guidance, operational support,
and managerial oversight to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary, the
administrations, and other top offices. 

          The Assistant Secretary for Finance and Information Resources
Management is VA's Chief Financial Officer and manages the Department's
budget process and fiscal operations. As Chief Information Resources
Officer, the Assistant Secretary oversees VA's information resources
management programs, which include integration and acquisition of
automated data processing and management of telecommunications activities.
The Assistant Secretary also directs the management controls and
performance measuremen t programs. 

          The Assistant Secretary for Policy and Planning is responsible
for managing the Secretary's policy analysis and planning processes and
integrating both into the Secretary's Strategic Management Process. The
Assistant Secretary also provides anal ysis and statistical information on
veterans; and, as the Chief Minority Affairs Officer, ensures that VA
provides for full participation in its benefits and services by minority
veterans. 

          The Assistant Secretary for Acquisition and Facilities provides
management and policy-level oversight of Departmentwide capital
facilities, real property, and asset management programs; acquisition and
materiel management activities and retail a nd food resale activities;
security, law enforcement, and emergency preparedness functions. The
Assistant Secretary also serves as VA's senior procurement executive in
accordance with Executive Order 12352 of March 17, 1982. 

          The Assistant Secretary for Human Resources and Administration
provides direction and oversight of the Department's human resources and
equal opportunity programs. The Assistant Secretary also provides
direction and oversight of Central Office a dministration, and serves as
the Department's designated safety and health official. 

          The Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs
provides executive management for coordination of the information that VA
communicates to the general public through the news media and provisions
of policy guidance in public and intergovernmental affairs. 

          The Assistant Secretary for Congressional Affairs is responsible
for coordinating the Department's relations and activities with the
legislative branch; serves as the focal point for all departmental
interaction, management, and coordination of congressional affairs
activities; and is the primary point of contact on all policy matters with
Congress and on all actions between the Offices of the Secretary and the
Deputy Secretary and Members of Congress and their staffs. 

Inspector General 

The Office of Inspector General was established on January 1, 1978, to
consolidate audit, investigation, and related operations into a cohesive,
independent organization. The Office is headed by an Inspector General who
reports directly to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The Inspector
General has the authority to inquire into all VA programs and activities
of persons or parties performing under grants, contracts, or other
agreements. The Inspector General is required to keep the Secre tary and
Congress fully informed about the problems and deficiencies in VA programs
and operations and the need for corrective action. 

General Counsel 

The General Counsel is the Department's chief legal officer on all matters
of law, litigation, and legislation. The General Counsel prepares, for the
Secretary's approval, legislative initiatives for submission to OMB and
Congress. The Gen eral Counsel interprets all laws pertaining to the
Department, has final legal authority in issuing Department regulations
implementing those laws, holds responsibility for the conduct of
litigation -- both independently and in coordination with the Justi ce
Department -- in State and Federal courts, the U.S. Court of Veterans
Appeals, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. 

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 that arise under subsection
511(a) of title 38 of the United States Code. 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, se ctions 7101-7110, 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 confir med by the Senate, and who is directly responsible to
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. BVA is authorized by statute to
comprise 67 Board members (including the Chairman), who are appointed by
the Secretary with the approval of the President and who are under the
administrative control and supervision of the Chairman. Each BVA decision
is signed by at least two Board members acting as agents 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 Administr ative 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 (3 8 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 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 domici liaries 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 a nd regulations.

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 Phi ladelphia, PA, and St. Paul,
MN. These two centers provide the full range of functional activities
necessary for a national life insurance program. Activities include the
complete maintenance of individual accounts, underwriting functions, and
life and de ath 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

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 emba ssies and consular offices, and of
coordinating veterans' activities with foreign governments. 

National Cemetery System

          The National Cemetery System (NCS) provides services to veterans
and their families by operating national cemeteries; furnishing headstones
and markers for the graves of U.S. veterans worldwide; awarding grants to
aid States in developing, impro ving, 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, their spouses, and certain children in VA
national cemeteries and to maintain their graves; 

           -- to mark, upon application, the graves of eligible veterans
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 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 Con flict; 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 Ph
iladelphia 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 benefici aries. 

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 disadvantag ed. 

          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 servi ces 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 compensat ion 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 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 requirement s 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 ins
titutions 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 nur sing 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 becau se 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 place for
burial of the remains of veterans, their spouses, and certain eligible
dependents. Memorial markers for veterans 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.
