HR 6874 United States House · 118th Congress

VA WEB Act

The VA WEB Act (HR 6874) requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to develop a system that actively monitors its main website for adverse events - such as system outages, data errors, or submission failures - within one year of enactment. The system must track metrics like website traffic, submission volumes, and software updates, and log details of any event affecting users or submissions. For significant events impacting 1,000+ users, the VA must notify Congress within 30 days and provide a detailed report upon request. These requirements, including a mandated testing strategy to prevent future issues, expire seven years after the bill becomes law.
