DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

38 CFR Part 3

RIN 2900-AK95


Recoupment of Severance Pay From VA Compensation; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correcting Amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the regulation of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that governs recoupment of lump-sum 
readjustment pay from disability compensation. This correction is 
required in order to amend an authority citation in the regulation. No 
substantive change to the content of the regulation is being made by 
this correcting amendment.

DATES: Effective: July 24, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James E. Figliozzi, Office of 
Regulation Policy and Management (02REG), Department of Veterans 
Affairs, 810 Vermont Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-4902.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA published an amendment to a final rule in 
the Federal Register on September 27, 2002 (See 67 FR 60868), that, 
among other things, added 10 U.S.C. 1174(h)(2) and 10 U.S.C. 1212(c) as 
authority citations for 38 CFR 3.700(a)(2)(iii). The citation to 10 
U.S.C. 1212(c) is incorrect, because that statute governs the 
recoupment of disability severance pay. A subsequent amendment to the 
final rule on June 5, 2009 (See 74 FR 26957) retained this incorrect 
authority citation. This document corrects that error. Because the 
citation to 10 U.S.C. 1174(h)(2) is correct, it remains unchanged.
