“In the past couple of years, there have been several problems with VA.gov that have impacted more than 120,000 veterans, and the VA has been slow to disclose them to Congress,” said Rep. Rosendale. “My bill, H.R. 6874, the VA Watching Over Electronic Benefits Act, would address these problems by requiring the VA to implement a process to actively monitor the VA.gov website for any adverse events that would impact the facilitation, maintenance, or receipt of VA benefits…The United States Congress just spent billions of dollars on foreign conflicts overseas, yet we do not even have a fully functional VA.gov website. As a Congress, we must do better.”
