Honoring Veterans on National Vietnam War Veterans Day (March 29) during 50th anniversary of Vietnam War and encouraging them to apply for earned VA benefits and care

Veteran Readiness and Employment will recognize the 40th anniversary of the first National Rehabilitation Counselor Appreciation Day on March 22.

If you’re the survivor of a Veteran who died from a toxic exposure-related condition, you may qualify for new benefits like the VA DIC Program.

VBA has coordinated with Stars and Stripes to release a special edition insert, the Veterans Benefits Guide. The print and digital publication, which highlights VA benefits and services available for Veterans, service members, and their families, hit newsstands on December 9.

March 20, 2023, marks the 20-year anniversary of the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).

New legislation has expanded eligibility for VA DIC. If you’re the survivor of a service member who died in the line of duty or a Veteran who died from a service-related injury or illness, you may qualify.

Enrollment is open for VA’s newest life insurance program: Veterans Affairs Life Insurance (VALife).

It’s vital that Veterans have the tools they need to access the benefits they’ve earned and deserve. To help Veterans apply for and receive VA benefits more efficiently, VA’s Office of Information and Technology (OIT), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), and Debt Management Center (DMC) have been working to create innovative technology solutions.

Veterans are getting help filing claims for benefits and services they’ve earned at a series of local events nationwide.

Homeless Coordinators and external stakeholders will learn what VA is doing to assist Veterans experiencing homelessness during the Virtual Homeless and Justice-Involved Veteran Outreach Symposium March 30, from noon to 3:30 p.m. EST.

VBA is sponsoring a virtual Women Veterans Symposium March 9. The symposium will feature speakers covering VA benefits, services and resources available to the women Veteran population.
