Revision of a currently approved collection.
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.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The
