SES members at the VA would have to change jobs within the department at least every five years and only 30 percent would be eligible to receive top-level performance ratings, under newly offered legislation in the House (HR-473). The bill also would limit the time they can be put on paid administrative leave—which often happens as an agency is deciding to take a disciplinary action—and would reduce their federal annuities–by denying credit for certain years of service–if they are convicted of a crime related to their official duties. Another bill (HR-490) would require the White House to develop a system of continuously monitoring indicators of possible security risks such as arrests by persons holding clearances; improve sharing of relevant information among different levels of government; and require that federal employees, not contractors, review the investigations and interviews conducted in granting or renewing high-level clearances.
