Annual Budget Submission (FY 2010):
“The President’s vision for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to transform into a 21st Century organization that is Veteran-centric, results-driven, and forward-looking. This transformation is demanded by new times, new technologies, new demographic realities, and new commitments to today’s Veterans. And it requires a comprehensive review of the fundamentals in every line of operation the Department performs.
VA’s budget request for 2010 provides the resources critical to achieving the President’s vision and will help ensure that Veterans—our clients—receive timely access to the highest quality benefits and services we can provide and which they earned through their sacrifice and service to our Nation.
The Department’s resource request for 2010 is nearly $113 billion—up $15.1 billion, or 15 percent, from the 2009 enacted budget (excluding funds provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009). This is the largest one-year percentage increase for VA requested by a President in over 30 years.
Nearly two-thirds of the increase ($9.6 billion) would go to mandatory programs (up 20 percent); the remaining third ($5.5 billion) would be discretionary funding (up 11 percent). The total budget would be almost evenly split between mandatory funding ($56.9 billion) and discretionary funding ($55.9 billion).”
