(The Center Square) – Most veterans and their family members are concerned about proposed cuts at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, according to new polling.

Mission Roll Call, a nonprofit group, surveyed about 2,000 veterans and family members after VA Secretary Doug Collins announced a proposal to reshape the agency. An internal memo showed the VA plans to return to 2019 workforce levels, which would result in the department cutting about 83,000 positions. Collins on Tuesday said the goal is to cut the VA’s workforce by about 15%, but noted that the final figure could be higher or lower than that.

The Mission Roll Call poll found 44% of veterans were “very concerned” about the cuts and 20% were “concerned.” Another 19% said they weren’t concerned at all.
