Abstract: PayVA (Pay Now Enter Info Page— pay.va.gov) is used by the VA Debt Management Center (DMC) to verify debts that are active at DMC before the indebted person makes a payment. PayVA collects basic debt information from the respondent and redirects them to pay.gov (a Department of Treasury website) for online payments. PayVA then collects responses from pay.gov to verify payment.

The change in burden was the result of more payments being made electronically through the pay.va platform and a higher number of overall overpayment debts owed to the VA.

Affected Public: Individuals.

Estimated Annual Burden: 42,878 hours.

Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 257,266.

Authority:44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
