VA DATA Access Transparency and Accountability Act of 2025
This bill prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from sharing veterans' personal data - including health, financial, and identifying information - with the U.S. DOGE Service (Department of Government Efficiency). It bans any special government employee from accessing or using veteran data for commercial purposes or non-governmental reasons, requiring them to return all data upon termination. The law specifically protects sensitive information like medical records, Social Security numbers, and biometric data from unauthorized use or retention. It directly affects VA data-sharing practices and ensures veteran privacy by restricting access to their personal information.
