This report focuses on FY2018 appropriations and FY2019 advance appropriations for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Generally, the VA is funded through the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies (MILCON-VA) Appropriations Act. This report begins by providing a brief overview of the VA. Then it describes the VA budget and advance appropriations. Although not part of annual appropriations, the report also discusses recent funding developments regarding the Veterans Choice Program (VCP), as that program plays an integral role in the delivery of health care to veterans through private community providers. The report then describes the President’s budget request for FY2018 appropriations and advance appropriations for FY2019, along with congressional action. The report provides funding levels for the accounts as passed by the House and recommended by the Senate Appropriations Committee; it does not provide funding levels at the subaccount, program, or activity levels.
