The VA is giving veterans more time—up to one year instead of 180 days—to ask for a waiver on debts related to benefits. This change, effective January 26, 2026, helps reduce stress by giving veterans extra breathing room to handle their debt issues. It doesn’t cost veterans extra money but makes the process friendlier and fairer.

No changes to money or benefits, just extra time to enjoy the support they deserve!

2026-10130 — Agency Information Collection Activity: Status of Loan Account-Foreclosure or Other Liquidation

Comments on this plan are open until June 22, 2026, and the paperwork won’t cost much time—just about 30 minutes per person.
2026-10084 — Expanding Access to State Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs
