Trump’s goal is to return the VA back to the 2019 workforce levels of 400,000

Washington, D.C. – With a workforce of over 470,000 employees, the Trump administration’s goal is to cut personnel by 80,000 to bring the VA back to its 2019 workforce level of 400,000.

CBS acquired a memo Tuesday from the Trump Administration explaining their goal to start in August. CBS asked the administration who they were targeting for the job cuts, and the White House responded, “refuses to accept the VA bureaucracy and bloat that has hindered Veterans’ ability to receive timely and quality care.”

Deputy Press Secretary, Anna Kelly, added additional comments in a statement, “By making the VA workforce more efficient, President Trump and Secretary Collins will ensure greater efficiency and transparency for our nation’s heroes while preserving the benefits they earned.”
