Veterans
Benefits Administration
Leaves Paper Behind on Highway 1
Processing
claims for America's veterans requires a lot of paper. But then,
our nation has a lot of veterans. Each claimant has a file folder;
each folder gets fuller and fuller as a veteran gets older and older.
But does it have to be that way? Can the Department of Veterans
Affairs leave paper behind as a new century approaches? The Washington,
DC, VA Regional Office is demonstrating an electronic workfolder
system. It may be the beginning of a paperless process.
