The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing this final rule to amend its regulation regarding the process for identifying and paying appropriate payees entitled to retroactive benefits. This amendment is necessary to implement a federal district court order directing the VA to remove certain regulatory text concerning subsequent release of compensation to a payee when the full amount of unpaid benefits has previously been released.
