The Veteran Benefit Desk™
Updated daily

VA rules under White House review:the early warning desk.

Before VA can publish most significant rules, the Office of Management and Budget reviews them behind closed doors. We watch OMB's public review list every day and keep a permanent archive of every VA review since 2001, so you can see what is coming before it appears in the Federal Register.

Why this list matters. When a VA rule shows up here, the drafting is done and the rule is in its final clearance step. When a review concludes, publication usually follows within weeks. OMB overwrites this list in place; we archive it so the record of what sat at the desk, and for how long, never disappears.

Data refreshed: pending first run

Each entry is a VA rule OMB is actively reviewing. The day count shows how long it has been waiting.

    Recently concluded reviews

    The most recent VA reviews OMB finished, with the outcome and how long each took. A concluded review usually means the rule publishes soon; watch the rule changes tracker for the filing.
