Most VA senior officials are career workers, meaning they aren\u2019t expected to step away immediately after Inauguration Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Policy changes under Trump could result in changes to health care access or benefits delivery, especially if new executive branch officials follow through on stated plans to trim back the federal workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But McDonough noted that \u201cwhat the next team does is up to them to decide\u201d and said the current administration is focused on making sure that veterans and their families don\u2019t see any disruptions as current leaders depart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To underscore that point, VA officials are urging veterans impacted by severe winter weather in the eastern half of the country and those displaced by wildfires in California to reach out to the department for help if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effects of those problems could last past the Jan. 20 inauguration, but McDonough said VA staffers will be available to help throughout the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen we talk about the workforce expectations, and most importantly, when we talk about veterans\u2019 expectations, I think our expectation is that [the transition] will be seamless, and we\u2019ve taken that very seriously,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans seeking help on those issues or other support services questions can call 800-698-2411 or visit the <a
