Step by Step Guide to Your Earned Benefits and Services

Have you recently transitioned from military service or you just never signed up for your earned VA Benefits and Services? Looking to discover the benefits and services you've earned? Our step-by-step guide is here to help! 📖✨ It is never to late to sign up.

Education Benefits for Survivors

If you’re the child or spouse of a veteran or service member who has died, is captured or missing, or is rated permanently and totally disabled, you may be able to get help paying for school or job training through the Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (DEA) program, also called Chapter 35. Find out if you're eligible for DEA.

Tax season is here! Many VA benefits are exempt from taxes. Before filing, always review the Veterans Tax Information and Services page on the IRS website. To safeguard your identity from scams, visit Fraud Prevention.

Last Month, the Department of Veterans Affairs websites and social media channels began showing the amount of money it is legally obligated to send to VA-accredited attorneys and claim agents who have assisted Veterans with their disability claims.

While paying attorneys for their services out of the money owed to the Veteran when a claim is granted is nothing new, sharing the data with the public is. And it’s quite striking.

Leaving military service isn’t just a career change, it’s a life transformation. Many Veterans face this shift without a clear path forward, struggling to answer a critical question: Who am I now?
