Title
Why would my Social Security benefits be kept to pay my VA debt?
Answer
By law, we must refer delinquent debt to the U.S. Treasury.
If you don't make other arrangements to repay your debt, the U.S. Treasury may keep (or offset) any eligible federal benefit payments you receive to pay down the debt. This may include your Social Security benefits.
