## Abstract

This document amends VA's medical regulation to give Fiscal Officers at VA medical facilities the authority to waive veterans' debts arising from the medical care co-payments. This change in regulation will codify an existing 1995 delegation of authority to Fiscal Officers from the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The purpose of this 1995 delegation was to increase the efficiency of the waiver process.
