U.S. Senator Jerry Moran, the ranking member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, has been informed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) about a malfunction in an electronic fax system. This issue led to 875 files, which were sent to the VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System from community care providers, going missing.

The missing files date back to June 11, 2024. They include medical documentation, care referrals, authorizations for care, and other necessary information for coordinating veteran health care.

Senator Moran stated: "Any veteran concerned this issue may have caused a delay in their care should contact their VA care team. If a veteran needs further assistance, they should reach out to Sen. Moran’s office here."
