A nearly $3 billion shortfall is looming over the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits program, posing a significant risk to the timely delivery of benefits to veterans. The Senate has stepped in with a proposed legislative fix, but the clock is ticking as Congress must act swiftly to prevent disruptions.
