How do I file a debt waiver?
Veterans with a debt owed to the VA are encouraged to contact the VA’s Debt Management Center to discuss repayment options, including possible debt dispute/disagreement, repayment extensions, compromises, and waivers. For more information, visit the VA’s Debt Management Center website.
Veterans and/or their caregivers are encouraged to contact the VA’s Debt Management Center immediately to discuss their options upon notification of a debt. Do not delay.
NOTE: When requesting a debt waiver, the VA will assess your expenses based on essential needs necessary to maintain a safe living space and health, such as mortgage/rent, food, utilities, and already accrued private debts, payments, or installments.
