Explanation
(This amendment provides $900,000 the first year and $258,500 the second year from the general fund to develop and deploy the third phase of the TurboVet project. TurboVet is a simple, complete, and secure web-based tool that facilitates the development and filing of veterans disability claims. The third phase of the project will begin deployment of the self-service model, begin creating the mechanism through which other state agencies and Veteran Services can share appropriate veterans data to expedite service delivery and begin developing the mechanism for electronic claims filing with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.)
