Protecting VA Employees Act

H.R. 932 would amend federal law to ensure that certain Department of Veterans Affairs employees are subject to the same removal, demotion, and suspension procedures as other federal employees. Currently, VA employees operate under different disciplinary rules established by the 2017 Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act. This bill would repeal those separate VA-specific processes and bring VA employee discipline in line with standard federal government procedures. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. If enacted, the legislation would affect how VA management can discipline and remove employees, potentially providing greater due process protections and consistency across the federal workforce.
