Money given to the VA can stay available until it's spent, with no yearly deadline. The VA can't use that money to settle a construction contract dispute over $1,000,000 unless an outside audit checks it. The settlement must also be specifically allowed in an appropriations law.
(a) Money appropriated to the Department* can stay available until it is fully used — there is no yearly deadline requiring it be spent.
(b) The Department can't use appropriated money to settle a construction contract for more than $1,000,000 unless: (1) an entity outside the Department audits the settlement to check that the spending is reasonable and appropriate; and (2) an appropriation law specifically provides for that settlement.
Funds appropriated to the Department* may remain available until expended.
Funds appropriated to the Department may not be used for a settlement of more than $1,000,000 on a construction contract unless—
