UPDATE: EX-VA CHIEF'S COMPANY SAID TO SEEK

G.I. BILL BENEFITS CONTRACT -- QTC Management is

headed by former VA Secretary Anthony J. Principi.

Current Secretary James Peake was top executive at firm.

 

 

Story below:

 

-------------------------

Yesterday we reported that the VA is going to outsource management of G.I. Bill benefits.  That story here...
http://www.vawatchdog.org/08/nf08/n
fAUG08/nf081808-1.htm

That move would cost VA jobs ... and cost the taxpayers a load of money.  And, some private company would end up with a huge contract to perform the services already being done by VA employees.

Now, a number of sources in the VA have told me that one of the companies seeking this contract is QTC Management, Inc.  This has been discussed in a number of management-level VA meetings.

QTC is headed by former VA Secretary Anthony J. Principi.  Current VA Secretary James Peake was a top executive at QTC.  I think you see where this all could lead.

QTC currently has a contract with the VA to perform Compensation & Pension (C&P) examinations.  This contract could bring in over a billion dollars.  QTC web site is here...

One source has told me that they feel the QTC / G.I. Bill contract is a done deal.

We'll have to wait and see on that.

But, if it happens, we will have to question the influence of former Secretary Principi and the integrity of current Secretary Peake.

More to come on this............
