U.S. Senator Jerry Moran, chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, presided over a committee hearing to consider the nomination of Karen Brazell for the role of Under Secretary for Benefits at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
During the hearing, Senator Moran emphasized the importance of timely benefit delivery to veterans and their families. "The timely delivery of benefits is crucial to supporting veterans and their loved ones after their service," said Sen. Moran. "The Veterans Benefits Administration is charged with administering disability and pension benefits, education benefits, home loan benefits, military to civilian transition support services, survivors benefits and other resources to veterans after they have taken off the uniform."
Senator Moran further addressed the responsibilities associated with the VA Under Secretary for Benefits position. "The responsibility of VA’s Under Secretary for Benefits is to make certain veterans and their families receive quality benefits in a timely manner," continued Sen. Moran. "I am grateful to have an experienced and dedicated public servant, Karen Brazell, before us today as our nominee for this important position."
