Welcome

Veterans, members of the Armed Forces and family members who incur debts as a result of their participation in most VA compensation, pension and education programs as well as home loans closed before January 1, 1990, receive letters from DMC notifying them of their rights as well as their obligation to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs.
