System announcements display on the Login page and in a banner on the portal page. Announcements are provided by VA and communicate upcoming system maintenance or other scheduled events that may impact you or CV system availability. An example announcement on the Login page is shown in the following figure. Where available, click the View More Announcements link for additional information.

Announcement banners may also display on any individual widget, except the Demographics widget, to notify you of conditions that affect the data or functionality of a specific widget.
NOTE: Announcements are separate from the System Status messages. System Status monitors the overall condition of the CV application. System Status updates continue to display even if there are no announcements when you access CV.
