CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
           COST ESTIMATE


July 20, 2015


SUMMARY

H.R. 1994 would limit the amount of awards and bonuses paid to employees of the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and would modify several of the department's
personnel policies. In addition, the bill would prescribe a comprehensive process for
handling complaints by whistleblowers. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1994
would, on net, decrease costs by $145 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming
appropriation levels are reduced by those amounts.

Enacting the bill would have an insignificant effect on direct spending over the 2016-2025
period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting H.R. 1994 would not affect
revenues.

H.R. 1994 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
