Veterans Affairs officials are once again extending the suspension of benefit debts for veterans facing financial difficulties, this time through the end of 2022.

The move, announced Monday, covers debts related to disability compensation overpayments, education benefits mistakes and pension payouts not related to service-connected injuries. Individuals who owe money will not have to pay it back until early 2023 if they can show the move would cause financial hardship.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL I always paid off my non-service connected charges as soon as I could. I hate owing anyone anything. Even during the height of the pandemic I paid but then received a refund check when the V.A. waived all charges. Extending the time to pay it back later isn't going to be any easier. It will be harder because the bill will be higher. My two cents worth.
