Without a third party paying for the care, the Veteran may owe VA copayments. With regards to the CHAMPVA form alone: Failure to provide any or all of the requested information may delay or result in VA's inability to provide CHAMPVA benefits.

The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 83 FR 16922 on April 17, 2018, pages 16922 and 16923.
