PURCHASE OF VETRASPEC COMPUTER PROGRAM
Submitted for:	Sergio Hernandez	Submitted By:	Sergio Hernandez
Department:	Veteran's Service Office

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to allocate $2,300 to be used for the purchase of VetraSpec program software. [Account #001-5050-6205] [Co-sponsored by John Galo, Webb County Commissioner Pct. 3]

Issue: The current process of veteran claims is costly and slow due to all claims being done through paper files and mail.

Solution: Proposal to purchase VetraSpec program in order to expedite the process of claims and reduce the amount of paper usage by making all files electronic and paperless.

Result: Veteran claims will be expedited due to electronic forms, and the usage of paper will reduce dramatically due to electronic filing. Also, VA benefit forms will be generated automatically once veterans are in the system, reducing the amount of time spent doing a claim, and allowing for more veterans to be helped throughout the day.
