Overview: The Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA) system was instituted by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in 1997 in a continuing effort to improve the allocation of congressionally appropriated health care funds to the 21 Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs). VERA was designed to ensure that funds are allocated in an equitable, comprehensible, and efficient manner and to address the complexities of providing health care to veterans with service-connected disabilities, low incomes, and special health care needs. In contrast to earlier VHA allocation systems, which were based largely on historical costs, VERA bases its allocation of funds primarily on the number of veterans served (workload).
