President’s Budget Request
Fiscal Year 2018:

The 2018 Budget and 2019 Advance Appropriations requests for VA fulfill the President’s commitment to provide America’s Veterans, their families, and Survivors the care and benefits they have earned through their service.

The President’s 2018 Budget includes $186.5 billion in budget authority for VA in 2018.  This includes $82.1 billion in discretionary resources and $104.3 billion in mandatory funding.  The discretionary budget request represents an increase of $4.4 billion, or 5.8 percent, over the 2017 enacted level.  VA’s 2019 Advance Appropriations request for discretionary Medical Care is $70.7 billion, an increase of $1.7 billion over the 2018 request.  The 2019 Advance Appropriations request for mandatory Benefits is $107.7 billion, an increase of $7.0 billion above the 2018 request.

VA’s budget requests the resources necessary to increase Veteran access to services and benefits, sustains the progress made on reducing the disability claims backlog, and for continuing the Veteran homelessness program.  The Budget supports the Departments operational transformation to provide Veterans, their families, and Survivors the highest quality services and benefits Veterans earned through their sacrifice and service to our Nation.
