[From the U.S. Government Printing Office, www.gpo.gov]
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2002
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
The 2002 budget provides $23,378 million in discretionary funding
for veterans health, benefits, and other services, including $23,998
million in gross discretionary budget authority and $620 million in
anticipated discretionary medical collections.
This funding level recognizes that an estimated $235 million of
current medical care liabilities will shift to the Department of Defense
due to new benefits available to military retirees over age 64.
The account by account information provided in the following budget
schedules is supplemented by a department-wide strategic plan, published
in September 2000, a performance plan submitted annually with the
Budget, and an annual performance report. The performance plan contains
annual goals for each of the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA)
programs along with historic performance data, where available. The plan
highlights approximately 35 key measures that VA's top executives
consider critical to the success of the Department. The performance
report includes actual program performance as measured against goals.

whose mission is to acquire knowledge and create innovations that
advance the health and care of veterans and the Nation. Veterans health
issues are addressed comprehensively in the following four program
divisions:
Medical Research.--Medical Research strives to understand the
disease process so that efficient, rational interventions can be made to
cure or alleviate the effects of disease. The program supports
investigator-initiated research projects, the training of clinicians in
basic and clinical research, and centers of excellence devoted to
specific diseases. The research is done in areas particularly relevant
to the veteran population--aging, chronic disease, mental illness,
substance abuse, military occupations, and environmental exposures.
Rehabilitation Research.--Rehabilitation Research is dedicated to
the development and application of science and engineering to improve
the care and quality of life for the physically disabled. The program
supports investigator-initiated research projects, the training of
clinicians and engineers in rehabilitation research, centers of
excellence devoted to specific disabilities, and technology transfer.
The research is done in areas particularly relevant to the disabled
veteran population--aging, sensory loss, and trauma related illness.
Health Services Research.--Health Services Research is directed
toward improving the outcome effectiveness and cost efficiency of health
care delivery for the veteran population. The program supports
investigator-initiated research projects, the training of clinicians in
applied clinical research, centers of excellence devoted to specific
aspects of health care delivery, and service-directed projects
addressing clinical management needs. The research focuses on the
translation of research findings to clinical best practices for all
veteran patients. Particular contributions are made in the areas of
aging, substance abuse, health systems, and special populations.
Cooperative Studies.--Cooperative Studies Research has recently been
separated from the Medical Research and Health Services Research
programs and is directed toward large multi-site clinical trials.
Cooperative Studies supports the clinical trials with its own
statistical support centers and its own FDA-approved pharmacy. The
research determines the efficacy and cost effectiveness of new
medications and new treatment strategies of direct benefit to the
veteran population in the areas of aging, chronic disease, mental
illness, special populations, and military occupations and environmental
exposures.
VA's Medical and Prosthetic Research programs are included in the
Federal Science & Technology (FS&T) budget.

This account provides funds for the operating expenses of VA medical
facilities furnishing nursing home care to certain veterans in receipt
of pensions. Title 38 provides that a veteran with no spouse or child
will only receive $90 per month in pension beginning the third full
month following the month of admission to VA furnished nursing home
care. The difference between the $90 the veteran receives and the amount
otherwise authorized is transferred to this fund from the Compensation
and Pension account to assist in covering expenses at the facility
furnishing the nursing care.

This revolving fund, established pursuant to the Veterans Omnibus
Health Care Act of 1976, Public Law 94-581, provides a mechanism for the
furnishing of rehabilitative services to certain veteran beneficiaries
who are receiving medical care and treatment from the Department of
Veterans Affairs.
Funds to operate the various rehabilitative activities and provide
for the therapeutic work for remuneration for patients and members in VA
health care facilities are derived from contractual arrangements with
private industry or nonprofit entities. Public Law 102-54 authorizes VA
to contract with any Federal agency, including VA, and authorizes the
fund to cover the training, education, and travel costs of employees
associated with the rehabilitative programs. This is a self-sustaining
fund, and therefore no appropriation is required to support these
activities.

This fund consists of: gifts, bequests, and proceeds from the sale
of property left in the care of the facilities by former beneficiaries;
patients' fund balances; and, proceeds from the sale of effects of
beneficiaries who die leaving no heirs or without having otherwise
disposed of their estate. Such funds are used to promote the comfort and
welfare of veterans at hospitals, nursing homes, and domiciliaries where
no general appropriation is available. Public Law 102-54 authorizes
compensation work therapy and therapeutic transitional housing and loan
programs to be funded from the General Post Fund. In addition, donations
from pharmaceutical companies, non-profit corporations, and individuals
to support VA medical research are deposited into this fund. (38 U.S.C.
chs. 83 and 85.)

====================================
This appropriation provides for the payment of compensation,
pensions, and burial benefits to veterans and survivors.
Compensation is paid to veterans for disabilities incurred in or
aggravated during active military service. Dependency and Indemnity
Compensation is paid to survivors of servicepersons or veterans whose
death occurred while on active duty or as a result of service-connected
disabilities. Compensation and vocational rehabilitation is provided to
the children of Vietnam veterans who were born with the birth defect
spina bifida.
The Secretary may pay a clothing allowance to each veteran who uses
a prescribed medication for a service-connected skin condition or wears
a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance (including a wheelchair) which, in
the judgment of the Secretary, tends to damage or tear the clothing of
such veteran.

Pension benefits may be paid to veterans or their survivors. A
veteran's entitlement is based on active duty service of a specific
length (normally 90 days or more) during a designated war period,
disabilities considered permanent and total, and countable income below
established levels. There is no disability requirement for survivor
cases. Income support is provided at established benefit levels.
Veterans who are under the age of 45 and are in receipt of a
disability pension will be evaluated to determine whether a vocational
goal is reasonably feasible. Those for whom a vocational goal is
feasible are eligible for a program of vocational training.
An automatic annual cost-of-living increase comparable to the annual
social security increase is provided for those pensioners in the
improved program and to parents receiving dependency and indemnity
compensation. The increase, effective with payments made on January 1,
2002, is expected to be 2.5 percent.

The Administration will transmit legislation that would provide $523
million for increased benefit costs affected by the 3.5 percent rate
increase for veterans with service-connected disabilities and the rates
of dependency and indemnity compensation for the survivors of certain
disabled veterans, as enacted by Public Law 106-413, the ``Veterans'
Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2000.'' This request also
would provide $12 million to meet additional benefit costs due to
program enhancements afforded by Public Law 106-419, the ``Veterans
Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000.'' Additionally, this
request would provide $17 million for benefit costs arising from the

The Administration will transmit legislation that would provide $347
million for program increases that are required by recently-enacted
legislation and greater than expected numbers of trainees and average
costs per trainee. Public Law 106-398, the ``Floyd D. Spence National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001'' authorizes Montgomery
GI Bill (MGIB) payments to active-duty personnel to supplement their
military tuition assistance. Public Law 106-419, the ``Veterans Benefits
and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000'' also expanded educational
assistance. It includes provisions that: increased basic full-time
monthly benefit rates under MGIB from $552 to $650, effective November
1, 2000 (an increase of 21 percent over rates for 2000 when previously
only a 3 percent cost-of-living adjustment had been authorized);
increased monthly rates for Survivors' and Dependents' Educational
Assistance from $485 to $588, effective November 1, 2000 (an increase of
21 percent over rates for 2000 when previously none had been
authorized); and provide up to $2,000 for licensing and certification
testing under MGIB, effective March 1, 2001.

This fund finances the payment of claims on nonparticipating life
insurance policies issued and currently is open for new issues to
veterans having service-connected disabilities. The program provides
insurance coverage for service-disabled veterans at standard rates.
Administrative expenses are paid from the General operating expenses
appropriation.
Operating costs--
Death claims.--Represents payments to designated beneficiaries.
All other.--Represents payments to policyholders who surrender
their policies for their cash value and hold endowment policies
which have matured.
Capital investment.--A policyholder may borrow up to 94 percent of
the value of his policy.
The trend in the number and amount of policies in force is indicated
in the following table.
POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE
2000 actual 2001 est. 2002 est.
Number of policies.................. 151,315 147,935 144,450
Insurance in force (dollars in
millions)........................... 1,418 1,398 1,375
Financing.--Operations are financed from premiums and other
receipts. Additional funds are received by transfer from the veterans'
insurance and indemnities appropriation, instead of direct
appropriations to this fund.
Operating results and financial condition.--Since premium and other
receipts are insufficient to cover operations, the fund continues to
project liabilities in excess of assets. The deficit is expected to
reach an estimated $461 million by September 30, 2002.

Note.--The Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are
not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown
for this account have been discontinued.
This fund pays claims and administrative costs on participating life
insurance policies issued during the period May 1, 1965, through May 2,
1966, under three life insurance programs: (1) service-disabled standard
insurance; (2) service-disabled rated insurance; and (3) nonservice
disabled insur- ance availing disabled World War II and Korean conflict
veterans an opportunity to acquire life insurance coverage who were no
longer eligible for other Government insurance.
Budget program--
Death claims.--Represents payments to designated beneficiaries.
Dividends.--Policyholders participate in the distribution of
annual dividends.
All other.--This represents payments to the General Operating
Expenses account for the administrative costs of
[[Page 896]]
processing claims and maintaining the accounts, and to those
policyholders who: (a) surrender their policies for cash value; (b)
hold endowment policies which have matured; and (c) have purchased
total disability income coverage and subsequently become disabled.
Policy loans made.--A policyholder may borrow up to 94 percent
of the cash value of his policy at an interest rate adjusted to
reflect private sector borrowing costs.
The following table reflects the decrease in the number of
policies and the amount of insurance in force:
POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE
2000 actual 2001 est. 2002 est.
Number of policies................ 77,638 72,300 66,890
Insurance in force (dollars in
millions)....................... 648 617 584
Financing.--Operations are financed from premiums collected from
policyholders and interest on investments. Excess earnings of the fund
are now distributed to the policyholders in the form of an annual
dividend.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond,
(including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that
resulted from obligations or commitments in any year) as well as for the
administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are
estimated on a net present value basis.
The Federal guaranty for this program protects lenders against the
following types of losses: (a) for loans of $45,000 or less, 50 percent
of the loan is guaranteed; (b) for loans greater than $45,000, but not
more than $56,250, $22,500; (c) for loans more than $56,250, but less
than $144,000, the lesser of $36,000 or 40 percent of the loan; or (d)
for loans greater than $144,000, the lesser of $50,750 or 25 percent of
the loan.
As part of a continuing effort to reduce administrative costs, in
addition to restructuring and consolidations, VA is conducting a study
of the property management function to determine whether it would be
more cost effective to contract out this activity. The study will be
complete at the end of 2001.

All information from the Native American Veterans Housing Loan
program and the Guaranteed Transitional Housing Loans for Homeless
Veterans program is consolidated in a single housing fund called the
Miscellaneous Veterans Housing Loans Fund.
The Native American Veterans Housing Loan program provides direct
loans to veterans living on trust lands under 38 U.S.C. chapter 37,
section 3761. These loans are available to purchase, construct or
improve homes to be occupied as the veteran's residence. The principal
amount of a loan under this authority is generally limited to $80,000,
except in areas where housing costs are significantly higher than
average costs nationwide. This is a pilot program that began in 1993 and
is authorized through December 31, 2001.
Public Law 105-368, the ``Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of
1998,'' established a pilot project designed to expand the supply of
transitional housing for homeless veterans and to guarantee up to 15
investment loans with a maximum aggregate value of $100 million. Not
more than five loans may be guaranteed in the first three years of the
program. The project must enforce sobriety standards and provide a wide
range of supportive services such as counseling for substance abuse and
job readiness skills. Residents will be required to pay a reasonable
fee.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records, for these programs, the subsidy costs associated with the
direct loans obligated and the guaranteed loans committed in 1992 and
beyond, as well as the administrative expenses of these programs. The
subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the
administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

Note.--The Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are
not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown
for this account have been discontinued.
This fund was established in 1940. It is for the World War II
servicemen's and veterans' insurance program. Over 22 million policies
have been issued under this program. Activity of the fund reflects a
rising claim workload. The trend in the number and amount of policies in
force is shown as follows:
POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE
2000 actual 2001 est. 2002 est.
Number of policies.................. 1,715,536 1,609,680 1,503,100
Insurance in force (dollars in
millions)........................... 17,013 16,269 15,502
This fund is operated on a commercial basis to the extent possible.
The income of the fund is derived from premium receipts, interest on
investments, and payments which are made to the fund from the Veterans
insurance and indemnities appropriation.
Assets of the fund, which are largely invested in special interest-
bearing Treasury securities and in policy loans, are expected to
decrease from $12,507 million as of September 30, 2001 to $12,209
million as of September 30, 2002. The actuarial estimate of policy
obligations as of September 30, 2002, total $11,193 million, leaving a
balance of $296 million for contingency reserves.

Note.--The Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are
not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown
for this account have been discontinued.
This fund was established in 1919 to receive premiums and pay claims
on insurance issued under the provisions of the War Risk Insurance Act.
The general decline in the activity of the fund is indicated in the
following table:
POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE
2000 actual 2001 est. 2002 est.
Number of policies.................. 16,280 14,600 12,970
Insurance in force (dollars in
millions)........................... 53 48 42
The fund is operated on a commercial basis to the extent possible.
The income of the fund is derived from interest on investments and
payments from the Veterans insurance and indemnities appropriation.
Effective January 1, 1983, premiums were discontinued because reserves
held in the fund were adequate to meet future liabilities of the
program.
Assets of the fund, which are largely invested in interest-bearing
securities and policy loans, are estimated to decrease from $72 million
as of September 30, 2001, to $65 million as of September 30, 2002, as an
increasing number of policies mature through death or disability. The
actuarial evaluation of policy obligations as of September 30, 2002,
totals $63 million, leaving a balance of $2 million for contingency
reserves.
The status of the fund, excluding noncash transactions, is as

Note.--The Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are
not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown
for this account have been discontinued.
This fund finances the payment of claims on life insurance policies
issued before January 3, 1957, to veterans who served in the Armed
Forces subsequent to April 1, 1951. No new policies can be issued.
Policyholders may elect to purchase total disability income coverage
with the payment of additional premiums.
Budget program--
Death claims.--Represents payments to designated beneficiaries.
Cash surrenders.--A policyholder may terminate his or her
insurance by cashing in the policy for its cash value.
Dividends.--Policyholders participate in the distribution of
annual dividends.
All other.--Classified in this category are payments to
policyholders who: (a) hold endowment policies which have matured;
(b) have purchased total disability income coverage and subsequently
become disabled; and (c) are paid interest on dividend credits and
deposits.
The following table reflects the decrease in the number of
policies and the amounts of insurance in force:
POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE
2000 actual 2001 est. 2002 est.
Number of policies.................. 242,608 237,160 231,670
Insurance in force (dollars in
millions)........................... 2,669 2,635 2,595
Financing.--Payments from this fund are financed primarily from
premium receipts and interest on investments.
Operating results and financial condition.--Lower than expected
death rates on insurance written against this fund has kept death claim
payments well below the amount of premium and interest receipts, thereby
producing an annual increase in the total revenue of the fund. Excess
earnings of the fund are now distributed to the policyholders in the
form of an annual dividend.

Specific performance goals relating to the National Cemetery
Administration are contained in VA's annual performance plan.
The mission of the National Cemetery Administration is to honor
veterans with a final resting place and lasting memorials that
commemorate their service to our Nation. The National Cemetery
Administration's vision is to provide a lasting tribute to our Nation's
veterans by being mission-driven, results-oriented, and customer-
focused. There are four related programs managed by the National
Cemetery Administration including: (1) burying eligible veterans and
family members in national cemeteries and maintaining the graves and
their environs as national shrines; (2) providing aid to States in
establishing, expanding, or improving State veteran cemeteries; (3)
providing headstones and markers for the graves of eligible persons in
national, State, and private cemeteries; and (4) providing presidential
memorial certificates to family and friends of deceased veterans,
recognizing the veteran's contribution and service to the Nation.
The National Cemetery Administration also reflects budget
information for the National Cemetery Gift Fund. Through this Trust
Fund, the Secretary is authorized to accept gifts and bequests which are
made for the purpose of beautifying national cemeteries or are
determined to be beneficial to such cemeteries, or are made for the
purpose of the operation, maintenance, or improvement of the National
Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.

Under the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 8121, the Supply Fund is
responsible for the operation and maintenance of a supply system for VA.
The Supply Fund is an intragovernmental revolving fund without fiscal
year limitations.
Budget program.--The fund provides financial support for: (1) a
National Acquisition Center or central contracting office; (2) the
maintenance of field station inventories; (3) a service and distribution
center; (4) a service and reclamation program; (5) a national
prosthetics distribution center; and (6) an asset management service.
Costs for the administration of supply activities at VA field
stations are not financed by the Supply Fund. These costs are charged
directly to applicable appropriations accounts.
Financing.--Costs of supplies, equipment, and services acquired
through the Supply Fund and Supply Fund operating costs are recovered
through reimbursements from the VA appropriations and other Government
agencies receiving goods and services. For 2002, Supply Fund sales are
estimated to reach $715 million. Average inventory needed to support
those sales will be $25 million.
Operating results.--The Fund operated at a loss of $3 million in
2000. The new total of retained earnings is $59 million. Operating
expense as related to sales was 8 percent.

VA was chosen as a pilot Franchise Fund agency under the Government
Management and Reform Act, P.L. 103-356, of 1994. This budget extends
through September 30, 2002, the authority under that Act for franchise
fund pilots in agencies including VA. Established in 1997,
administrative services included in the Franchise Fund are financed on a
fee-for-service basis rather than through VA's General Operating
Expenses appropriation. VA's Franchise Fund is a revolving fund used to
supply common administrative services on the basis of services supplied.
Enterprise Centers are the lines of business within the VA Franchise
Fund and are expected to have net billings of about $156 million and
employ 705 people, who were transferred from their parent organizations.
The Franchise Fund concept is intended to increase competition for
government administrative services resulting in lower costs and higher
quality.
