Change Of Address Must Be Given VA For Benefit Checks
Veterans receiving benefit checks from the Veterans Administration are urged to notify VA promptly of any address change to avoid late or returned payments. James W. Thornton of the Dothan VA Office notes thousands of checks are returned each month when veterans move without informing VA. Federal law requires the post office to deliver checks only to the printed address or return them to the Treasury for VA notification. In Alabama, 26 dollars in September were returned for this reason, about 60 percent for subsistence under the Servicemen's Re-adjustment Act.
