PayVA (Pay Now Enter Info Page - pay.va.gov) is used by the VA Debt Management Center (DMC) to verify debts that are active at DMC before the indebted person makes a payment. PayVA collects basic debt information from the respondent and redirects them to pay.gov (a Department of Treasury website) for online payments. PayVA then collects responses from pay.gov to verify payment.
