VA TRUST Act

This legislation aims to enhance transparency and modify pay structures for Senior Executive Service (SES) employees within the Department of Veterans Affairs. It mandates additional reporting requirements for performance awards and bonuses given to high-level VA employees, specifically requiring disclosure of the appropriations accounts used and the annual basic rate of pay for each recipient. The bill establishes new provisions for determining the annual basic pay for individuals in senior executive positions at the VA. It specifies that the Secretary will set these rates in accordance with federal SES pay ranges and limitations. Furthermore, it outlines how pay rates will be determined for career appointees transferring from other agencies and for individuals moving between senior executive positions within the Department, ensuring consistency with performance and existing federal pay regulations.
