NOTICE FROM THE VA.

I use the VA for some medical treatment and received this notice in an email this morning. I have an appointment with the VA for next week.

As you may be aware, funding for some government agencies, including portions of the Department of Veterans Affairs, expired at midnight this morning.

President Trump opposes a lapse in appropriations, and on September 19, the House of Representatives passed, with the Trump Administration’s support, a clean continuing resolution to fund the government through November 21. Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands.

During the current lapse in funding, the vast majority of VA benefits and services will continue uninterrupted, but the government shutdown is not without consequences to VA. Here is what you need to know:

The following critical Veterans care and assistance programs will be impacted by the government shutdown:​

  • VA will not provide Veteran career counseling or transition assistance program activities.
  • The GI Bill Hotline will be closed.
  • VA regional benefits offices will be closed.
  • VA will cease public affairs and outreach to Veterans.
  • VA will not permanently place headstones or maintain the grounds at VA national cemeteries.
  • VA will not process applications for pre-need burials.
  • VA will not print new presidential memorial certificates.

Thankfully, the government shutdown will not impact the following VA services:​

  • Veteran health care is not impacted. VA Medical Centers, Outpatient Clinics, and Vet Centers will be open.
  • VA benefits will continue to be processed and delivered, including compensation, pension, education, and housing benefits.
  • Burials will continue at VA national cemeteries. Applications for headstones, markers, and burial benefits processing will continue.
  • The Board of Veterans’ Appeals will continue decisions on Veterans’ cases.
  • VA Contact Centers (1-800-MyVA411) and the Veterans Crisis Line (Dial 988, Press 1) are open 24/7.

Naturally, they are making the shutdown cuts political. Republicans are quite full of themselves. Trump barely won the election, but he acts like nobody voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, despite the millions of Americans who did exactly that. This has made him very unpopular.

I know - but we can spend billions on ICE to bully brown people. The trump cult's priorities are really fucked. I'm sorry, man.

I'm always fine, RB...although the mornings have gotten colder and golfing becomes a bit less fun.

I've always gotten reasonable treatment from the VA...including treatment for cancer back in the mid 1990s. It bothers me when I hear people bad-mouth them.

But I kinda laughed when I saw the political slant to the notice. I know we disagree on this, but it is my opinion that the Trump administration (especially this second one) is the worst we've ever had.

EVER!

Fact is, the Republic may not survive it.

Oh, well. It was fun while it lasted.

Hey Poli, good to see ya.

Trump is the most unpopular president ever to serve during my lifetime. And that includes Tricky Dick Nixon.

I am not shocked by the political slant. It’s the Trump administration. Yes, they are the worst.

The Trumpers control the Presidency, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court. Yet you guys want us to suppose that a senator from New York is the reason for the shut down?

C'mon. Have more pride.

Your side just does not know how to govern.

The draft-dodging pedophile hates the US military. He couldn't care less what happens to veterans.

MAGAts, especially the fat-headed ones on JPP, are poorly educated and often stupid. Of course that's what he believes because it's what his White Nationalist President told him to believe.

Nope, not according to your cult leader. According to fat donny, it's HIS OWN fault. His words - not mine:


"President Donald Trump‘s previous assertion that a president would be to blame if there was a government shutdown in the U.S. has resurfaced after the country’s government shut down at midnight on Wednesday."

Don't you hate it when YOUR OWN WORDS come back to haunt you?
