Veterans Administration Backlog Accountability Act of 2025

This bill requires the Veterans Affairs Inspector General to submit a report to Congress within 180 days of enactment, focusing on the backlog of disability compensation claims. The report must detail the current backlog status, assess VA staffing efforts (including hiring under the PACT Act), analyze how staffing reductions since January 20, 2025, affect wait times, and evaluate preparations for a predicted 50% claim surge. It also examines how new technologies have impacted backlog reduction and includes IG recommendations for improvement. The bill does not change VA benefits or funding - it solely mandates this oversight report to inform Congress about backlog challenges.
