On November 18, 2025, the Office of Government Information Services re-posted a September 26th compliance report evaluating the Department of Veterans Affairs’ FOIA program. The OGIS assessment, which was mandated by Congress, contains 10 findings and 15 recommendations, highlighting significant delays, confusing first-party request procedures, inconsistent reporting, and outdated technology.
See the OGIS blog post here.
P.S. Former VA FOIA director, Michael Sarich, commented on the report back in September.
