VA RIN: 2900-AP86 Publication ID: Fall 2019 
Title: Active Service Pay 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its adjudication regulations to permit VA to suspend disability compensation or pension payments upon receipt of notice from the veteran or the Department of Defense (DoD) that the veteran is currently receiving, or will begin to receive, active service pay. As veterans are not permitted to concurrently receive VA disability compensation or pension while in receipt of active service pay, this regulatory amendment would give VA more flexibility in ensuring that payments to veterans are made correctly. This would in turn reduce potential overpayments and recoupment actions from members of the National Guard and Reserve who regularly drill, or other veterans who have returned to active service.
