Stop GREED Act of 2025
Current understanding
The Stop GREED Act of 2025 is a legislative proposal that would prohibit the VA from paying critical skill incentives to Senior Executive Service members and comparable central-office employees, while permitting case-by-case approvals and carve-outs for executives who also perform duties at other VA facilities. It requires annual congressional reporting on any exemptions granted. For senior VA executives, this narrows a discretionary compensation tool; for the agency, it adds a reporting obligation and constrains recruitment/retention pay for central-office leadership. Status: introduced.
