S. 3084 would authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to increase the cap on
salaries for regional directors of its health care system and for staff of the department's
Under Secretary of Health. The bill would increase the cap for those positions from $160,100
to $197,300, as set by the executive schedule for 2020.

Under current law, most of those staff, who also are physicians, dentists, and registered
nurses, are exempt from the lower salary cap and earn salaries above $160,100. Using
information from VA, CBO estimates that the bill would increase the salaries of 7 people,
who are currently subject to the lower salary cap, by 23 percent, from an average salary of
$150,700 to $185,700 in 2020. After adjusting for inflation, CBO estimates that
implementing the bill would cost $1 million over the 2020-2025 period; that spending would
be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Ann E. Futrell. The estimate was reviewed by
Leo Lex, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
