SENATOR COLLINS COMMENDS VA FOR GRANTING RELIEF TO MAINE VETERANS

U.S. Senator Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today praised the Department of Veterans' Affairs for agreeing to her request to grant equitable relief by refunding approximately 3,000 Maine veterans who received unexpected bills earlier this year due to a computer error. In addition, the VA has announced it will also terminate all collection actions with respect to the affected veterans.

"I am pleased that the VA is keeping the promise it made to me earlier this year that it would work with all affected veterans to rectify this situation in a reasonable manner," said Senator Collins.
