<body>
<p>The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes removing&nbsp;the regulation (38 CFR 21.222), that governs the release of, and repayment for, training and rehabilitation supplies. Congress&rsquo;s amendment to section 3104 no longer provides a legal basis or statutory authority to recoup or require reimbursement of supplies and or equipment in any circumstance. These amendments are in accordance with the President&rsquo;s priorities that improve service delivery, customer experience, and reduce administrative burdens for those accessing public benefits and services.</p>
