How do I repay debt related to my VA benefits?

Answer

You can repay debt related to VA disability compensation, non-service-connected pension, or education benefits in any of these 3 ways:

  • Pay online. Pay each debt separately by credit card or ACH direct debit. If you want to pay your full debt balance or if you get monthly VA benefit payments, call us first. We’ll confirm your balance so you don’t overpay.
  • Pay by phone. Call us at 800-827-0648 (1-612-713-6415 from overseas) (TTY: 711). We're here Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET. 
  • Pay by mail. Send a separate check or money order for each debt, payable to “U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.” On each, print your full name, VA file number or Social Security number, and deduction code. Include your payment stubs or a note with the amount you're paying on each debt.
