Abstract
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), has an 18-month computer matching agreement (CMA) agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) regarding veterans, VA beneficiaries, and caregivers who are in federal prison and are also in receipt of compensation and pension benefits. The purpose of this CMA is to re-establish the agreement between VA/VBA and DOJ/BOP, where the matched data will be used to adjust compensation and pension benefits of incarcerated veterans, VA beneficiaries, and caregivers.
