Welcome to the Office of Government Relations

The Office of Government Relations(OGR) is the focal point for Department management and coordination of all matters involving the Congress. Assistance to Members of Congress and their staff is available through offices located at the Department of Veterans Affairs Central Office and on Capitol Hill.

As we approach the Congressional August Recess, we want to share information with our Congressional partners on areas of interest within the Department of Veterans Affairs. We have created three factsheets that can be accessed through the links below. We wish you the best and are grateful for your continued commitment to our nation’s Veterans.

Thank you.
