Nebraska veterans faced undelivered subsistence and other benefits last month when address changes were not reported to the VA. Lincoln regional office manager Ashley Westmoreland cautions that post offices cannot forward government checks and unknown addresses lead to returns. Veterans should contact the nearest VA office or the Lincoln regional office with updates and ensure training and earnings reports are complete to avoid payment holds.
