Waiver of Erroneous Payments of Pay and Allowances

This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations concerning consideration of waiver of claims arising from erroneous payments to employees of pay and allowances, and travel, transportation, and relocation expenses and allowances. The VA's standards for such waivers under 5 U.S.C. 5584 are deleted as unnecessary because such waivers must be made in accordance with standards prescribed by the Comptroller General. This document also provides that members of VA regional office Committees on Waivers and Compromises are delegated all authority granted the Secretary under 5 U.S.C. 5584 and 4 CFR Parts 91 and 92 to grant waiver in whole or in part of a claim aggregating not more than $1,500; to recommend approval of waiver in whole or in part of a claim aggregating more than $1,500; and to deny waiver of a claim for any amount. In addition, this document deletes an unnecessary delegation of authority and makes nonsubstantive changes.
