PACT Act Fallout: VA Budget Shortfall Expected to Worsen, Putting Services at Risk for 7 Million Veterans and Families

According to WashingTonExaminer, The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is having trouble with its finances. It expects to have a shortfall of $15 billion, which means it won’t have enough money to pay for things like disability benefits, medical care, and other important services for over 7 million veterans and their families.

This shortfall is happening because more people are using VA services and asking for help, thanks to a new law called the PACT Act. The law has also increased the cost of prescription drugs and staffing needs. As a result, the VA expects to be short $2.9 billion this year and nearly $12 billion next year.
