Secretary Collins recently joined Newsmax Media, Inc. to talk about our accomplishments and the real progress being made at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. He highlighted the significant reduction in the disability claims backlog, which continues to improve. Even better, average processing times have dropped from about 135 days to around 80 days. This is great news for #Veterans waiting on decisions. This progress reflects our commitment to putting Veterans first and at the center of everything we do. Watch the clip below to hear Secretary Collins explain how these changes are helping Veterans get faster decisions and better service.

Gave an update at our Joint Legislative Budget Conference on budget proposals that impact individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, and the direct support workforce. I talked about some of the proposals that focus on restoring important advocacy protections, supporting service stability, improving planning around residential changes, and investing in frontline staff. Important progress — with more work ahead as budget discussions continue.
