Common use of Expected Results Clause in Contracts

Expected Results. VA’s agreement with DoD to provide educational assistance is a statutory requirement of the three Federal benefit programs that are the subject of this agreement: Chapter 1606, Title 10, U.S.C., (Xxxxxxxxxx GI Bill — Selected Reserve); Chapter 30, Title 38, U.S.C. (Xxxxxxxxxx GI Bill — Active Duty); and Chapter 33, Title 38, U.S.C. (Post-9/11 GI Bill). These laws require VA to make payments to eligible veterans, service members, guardsmen, reservists, and family members under the transfer of entitlement provisions. The responsibility of determining basic eligibility for Chapter 1606 is placed on the DoD. The responsibility of determining basic eligibility for Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 is placed on VA, while the responsibility of providing initial eligibility data for Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 is placed on DoD. Thus, the two agencies must exchange data to ensure that VA makes payments only to those who are eligible for a program. Without an exchange of enrollment and eligibility data, VA would not be able to establish or verify applicant and recipient eligibility for the programs. Subject to the due process requirements, set forth in Article VII.B.1. and 38 U.S.C. §3684A, VA may suspend, terminate, or make a final denial of any financial assistance on the basis of data produced by a computer matching program with DoD. To minimize administrative costs of implementation of the law and to maximize the service to the veteran or service member, a system of data exchanges and subsequent computer matching programs was developed. The purposes of the computer matching programs are to minimize the costs of administering the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Bill — Active Duty, the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Bill — Selected Reserve, and the Post-9/11 GI Bill programs; facilitate accurate payment to eligible veterans or service members training under the Chapter of the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Bill — Active Duty, the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Bill — Selected Reserve, and the Post-9/11 GI Bill program; and to avoid payment to those who lose eligibility. The current automated systems, both at VA and DoD, have been developed over the last 26 years. The systems were specifically designed to utilize computer matching in transferring enrollment and eligibility data to facilitate accurate payments and avoid incorrect payments. The source agency, DMDC, stores eligibility data on its computer-based system of records. The cost of providing this data to VA electronically is minimal when compared to the cost DMDC would incur if the data were forwarded to VA in a hard-copy manner. By comparing records electronically, VA avoids the personnel costs of inputting data manually as well as the storage costs of the DMDC documents. This results in an estimated annual savings of $25,173,410 to VA in mailing and data entry costs. DoD reported an estimated annual savings of $15,486,912. A cost-benefit analysis is provided at Attachment 1. In the 37 years since the inception of the first of these three Federal benefit programs, the Chapter 30 program, the cost savings of using computer matching to administer the benefit payments for these programs have remained significant. VA foresees continued cost savings due to the large number of persons eligible for the three Federal benefit programs.

In the 37 32 years since the inception of the first of these three Federal benefit programs, the Chapter 30 program, the cost savings of using computer matching to administer the benefit payments for these educational assistance programs have remained significant. The implementation of Chapter 33 has impacted the Chapter 30 program over the past 8 years (fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2017). Statistics show a decrease of 23 percent in the number of persons who ultimately use Chapter 30 from fiscal year 2015 to 2016. The number of persons who use Chapter 33 has consistently been above 700,000 in the past four years.
