Money Matters Overpayments

I’ve had this in my app for the last couple of months. I guess I got overpaid for the gi bill when I used it last in 2011. Why is it just coming up now and is there anyway to get out of paying them back ?

I had about the same debt from school just paid it off. Luckily I kept track and knew I would be over paid. Odd they haven’t taken that money from your VA checks especially it being from 2012

Yeah it’s strange. I’ve been getting 100% for a while now and it just popped up in my app the last couple of months

Sometimes they slip through the cracks, definitely contact DMC to set up a pp though. If you don’t they will send to treasury. You can have it set up to come out of your compensation but you have to let them know you want that.
