What to do first with your money

Count yourself lucky to have some extra cash on hand. Now here’s what to do with it.

Before they get to work on reforming the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Congress and the White House might want to take a closer look at the last time they tried it — a $16 billion fix called the Veterans Choice and Accountability Act of 2014, designed to get veterans medical care more quickly.

NPR and local member stations have been following that money, including the $10 billion for vets to get care outside the VA system. The Choice Act also channeled about $2.5 billion for hiring more doctors, nurses and other medical staff at VA medical centers.

The goal of the hiring money was to address a simple math problem. The number of veterans coming to the VA has shot up in recent years, and the number of medical staff has not kept pace. The idea was that more caregivers would cut wait times.

But an investigation by NPR and local member stations found that: the VA has about the same number of new hires as the VA would have been projected to hire without the additional $2.5 billion; the new hires weren’t sent to VA hospitals with the longest wait times; and the VA medical centers that got new hires were not more likely to see improved wait times.

A #background check can be as intensive as you like. We can check skills and education, talk with former employers and fellow workers, perform credit checks and criminal background checks. If the#position you are looking to fill meets certain safety requirements or if your worker is traveling into the USA, a drug test may be called for and with a special class of workers, it may even be necessary to have a polygraph done. If appropriate, we can help you design and administer sample work for the candidate to perform to measure skills. www.oeis.ca
