What the agency says
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is withdrawing a document published in the Federal Register on December 17, 2024, that requested public comment on VA's proposal to revise its medical regulations to allow VA to initiate a waiver request for debt accumulated from health care copayments on behalf of veterans in certain circumstances and to remove the requirement that veterans submit VA Form 5655 when seeking a waiver of copayment debt. VA is withdrawing the proposed rule because VA has determined the proposed regulation is no longer necessary.
