WASHINGTON Republican and Democratic lawmakers called on the Department of Veterans Affairs this week to continue its nine-month pause on billing veterans for medical debts after the agency announced it would start collections again in January.
In response to the calls from lawmakers, VA Press Secretary Christina Noel said that, while the VA has the authority to continue deferring debt collections, the department will still restart collections after this month. The VA does not have the authority to waive the debts altogether, she said.
