On this page is the statement “President Trump strongly believes that every veteran deserves our gratitude, and that the federal government should treat veterans like the heroes they are."
Despite this the Department of Veteran’s Affairs is reportedly planning a major reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs in an effort to reduce the agency’s workforce.
To clarify what’s going on we asked Elizabeth Jamison to help us out.Elizabeth Jamison is an attorney with nearly two decades of experience in veterans’ benefits and federal employment law. She has served as an Attorney Advisor at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals and as a Senior Advisor to the White House’s Joining Forces Initiative. Libby played a key role in shaping the 2023 Executive Order on Economic Security for military spouses, caregivers, and survivors.
Today, through her law firm, she helps veterans and their families navigate the VA system with clarity and confidence.
Libby and I talk about her background and the fact that she worked for both the Obama and Biden Administrations through "Joining Forces" and what the cuts to veteran's services will do to medical care, mortgage-rescue programs, research and veteran's jobs. Libby also presented important information on what veterans can get help if they run into problems.
