The Personnel Integrity in Veterans Affairs Act of 2025 strengthens oversight of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employees by requiring permanent notations in personnel files when employees resign, retire, or leave during active investigations into alleged misconduct or performance issues. The bill ensures that investigations continue even after an employee departs and mandates the VA complete the investigation and add findings to the record within 40 days of resolution. Employees receive written notice of findings, at least 30 days to respond with their side of the story, and the right to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board or a VA Disciplinary Appeals Board. Additionally, the bill requires the VA Secretary to submit annual performance plans for political appointees to Congress within 30 days of completion, enhancing transparency and accountability within the department.
