📄 Summary
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, notice is hereby given that VA is modifying the system of records titled "Centralized Accounts Receivable System/Centralized Accounts Receivable On-Line System (CARS/CAROLS)" (88VA244). This system is used to collect and maintain information on individuals that have an accounts receivable resulting from participating in a VA benefit program. It is designed to assist in the collection of government overpayments (debts). The system reflects the accounts receivable under the jurisdiction of the VA DMC. The system displays debts which are generated from four main areas in the Veterans Benefits Administration: Education, Compensation, Pension, and Loan Guaranty. The system also houses some debts relating to the Veterans Health Administration but does not directly contain medical records.
