  • More than 300,000 Department of Veterans Affairs health care jobs are exempt from the White House's federal hiring freeze, according to a department memo sent last week.

The article from Richmond.com discusses Virginia Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan's criticism of former President Donald Trump's executive order that imposed a hiring freeze on federal agencies, including the Richmond VA Medical Center. McClellan highlighted the negative impact of this freeze, which led to staffing shortages and reduced services at the medical center, particularly affecting veterans' healthcare. She pointed out that the freeze, initiated in 2017, resulted in a significant backlog of medical appointments and delayed care for veterans. McClellan contrasted this with the Biden administration's efforts to lift the hiring freeze and invest in the VA, aiming to improve services and reduce wait times. She emphasized the need for continued support and funding for the VA to ensure veterans receive the care they deserve.
