Personnel Integrity in Veterans Affairs Act of 2025

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to continue personnel investigations into misconduct or performance issues even if an employee resigns, retires, or leaves before the investigation concludes. Once completed, the VA must permanently note the findings in the employee’s official personnel file, while ensuring the employee receives written notice within 5 days, 30 days to respond with evidence, and the right to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board. It directly affects VA employees in competitive, excepted, or senior executive service roles who are subject to such investigations. The policy change mandates transparency and due process for employees during separation, preventing investigations from being abandoned upon departure.
