VA’s Accessibility Gap Creates New Demand for 508-Compliant Tech

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) released a report on July 1, 2025 announcing it found VA procured IT systems which failed to comply with legally-required accessibility standards. Specifically, of the 30 “bedrock and critical” IT systems audited by OIG as part of its report, the inspector general found only four systems that complied with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
