     Veterans  Appeals  Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017

                               on May 17, 2017


SUMMARY

H.R. 2288 would modify the appeals process for benefit claims at the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) and would require several reports from VA and the Government
Accountability Office (GAO). CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2288 would cost
about $2 million over the 2017-2022 period; such spending would be subject to the
availability of appropriated funds.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 2288 would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2288 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 2288 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 700 (veterans benefits and services).
