PART 13_VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION, FIDUCIARY 
 
Sec. 13.111  Claims of creditors.

    Under 38 U.S.C. 5301(a), payments made to or on account of a 
beneficiary under any of the laws relating to veterans are exempt, 
either before or after receipt by the beneficiary, from the claims of 
creditors and State and local taxation. The fiduciary should invoke this 
defense where applicable. If the fiduciary does not do so, the Veterans 
Service Center Manager should refer the matter to the Regional Counsel 
for appropriate action.
