Progress continues in VA offices
2014
Overview
Progress is being made in bringing state Department of Veterans Assistance field offices up to compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Department of Veterans Assistance secretary Rick Thompson announced the progress before the Select Committee on Veterans' Affairs Monday. A November audit from the Legislature's Performance Evaluation and Research Division found that five of the six field offices it evaluated were potentially non-compliant with ADA laws, federal privacy laws, or both. The Lewisburg, Beckley and Moorefield had \"major ADA compliance issues. The report found hallways and doorways in the Beckley and Lewisburg offices were too narrow to meet ADA standards, and that wheelchairs could not easily fit through some parts of the Beckley office. \"I think it needs to be $100,000 a year, Thompson said. \"We're getting the list of all the vans and mileages, but so far we've not had any issues with them. I am just anticipating that after going a couple of years at $50,000, we'll need to get that boosted up or we may have problems in the future. Currently, we're OK, but I'm looking ahead.
