That sentence, in plain words
If the VA gets money back from the helper, it must send that money on fast. It goes to the veteran or a new helper.
What this is about
This covers money the veteran has not been paid yet. The VA does not keep it.

not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
