SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: PayVA (Pay Now Enter Info Page).
OMB Control Number: 2900-0663 https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: PayVA (Pay Now Enter Info Page- pay.va.gov ) is used by the VA Debt Management Center (DMC) to verify debts that are active at DMC before the indebted person makes a payment. PayVA collects basic debt information from the respondent and redirects them to pay.gov (a Department of Treasury website) for online payments. PayVA then collects responses from pay.gov to verify payment. The change in burden was the result of more payments being made electronically through the pay.va platform and a higher number of overall overpayment debts owed to the VA.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 91 FR 48228, July 30, 2026.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Annual Burden: 42,878 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 257,266.
