VA owes home care agency $65,000

Question:

I work for a home care company that services the veteran at their home. However, the VA in Illinois has not been paying home care agencies on timely manner. Actually they owe my company more than $65,000. They usually pick the best amount they would like to pay and who among the veterans we service they want to pay. Why is that? Who do we have to call to assist us on this matter?

Jim's Reply:

The company owner should get in touch with a Congressional representative who serves your community. Each office will be staffed with a person who manages VA issues. Good luck.
