Why This Matters

The VA Bonus Recovery Act lets the Secretary of Veterans Affairs take back bonuses and relocation expenses from former employees if they do not repay them in time. This ensures that taxpayers are not left covering unpaid debts.

If you are a former VA employee who received a bonus, you may need to repay it if you don't act quickly.
