Veterans Affairs Secretary David J. Shulkin is pushing Congress to take action following an appellate court decision that blocked a portion of a law limiting employee rights for some senior staff.

A U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruling on Tuesday said Sharon M. Helman, the fired director of the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care System, had a right to appeal her dismissal to the Merit Systems Protection Board. The Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 had taken away that level of appeal for VA senior executives.

The court’s action “underscores yet again the need for swift congressional action to afford the secretary effective and defensible authority to take timely and meaningful action against VA employees whose conduct or performance undermines Veterans’ trust in VA care or services,” Shulkin said in <a href="https://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=2900">a statement</a>.

“We appreciate the House passing H.R. 1259, <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1259/text">VA Accountability First Act of 2017</a> as a vital step toward providing the tools necessary to address misconduct while ensuring due process. Just as importantly, we look forward to the Senate taking up the legislation and helping to ensure passage as soon as possible.”
