Numerous veterans have inquired whether I could include the veteran benefit guide for direct download, and I am indeed providing this guide.
The handbook contains a comprehensive listing of VA programs, including phone numbers and websites for easy reference. The annual Federal Benefits Guide hosts a wealth of information on most VA benefits and services, including
- Compensation.
- Life insurance.
- Pension and fiduciary services are also provided.
- Education benefits.
- Economic development and employment.
- Home loan guaranty programs and housing assistance.
- Mental health resources.
The handbook will help veterans, service members, and their families understand the full scope of VA resources available to them to help them make the most of life after service. It provides details on eligibility requirements for each benefit, and because VA serves different generations of veterans, it also outlines the qualification guidelines for distinct periods of service to clarify eligibility for veterans with service spanning both peace and wartime periods.
VA validates the information in this guide as of Oct. 10, 2024. For the most up-to-date information, veterans and family members should visit www.va.gov or go to the specific links provided in this publication to access information on the program that they’re interested in, as regulations, payments, and eligibility requirements are subject to change. You can also call the VA at 800-827-1000 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, to speak with a representative.
