Overpayments in GI benefits prompt VA warnings to veterans
Veterans Administration officer Harry W. Stewart warns that overpayments of GI benefits may be recovered by the government. Veterans can prevent losses by promptly reporting changes in income or dependency. Overpayments often arise from incomplete information on monthly VA certificates or changes in marital status or dependents. Some veterans, including those in training or receiving service connected disability, may be overpaid if they fail to keep VA informed. Pensions for World War I World War II or Korean War veterans with other income above limits may be affected.
