Every Veteran is vaguely familiar with the services and benefits offered by the Federal Government through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. What many veterans don’t know is that every state offers veterans benefits and recognition of their service uniquely to its own residents.
The following are examples of benefits and information which are easily accessed at “Military.com”
Information and benefits offered by states are constantly changing. For an accurate list of benefits, details and information regarding eligibility, check with your state agency.
- The Indiana Veterans Home in West Lafayette provides nursing and domiciliary care for any Hoosier Veteran with at least one day of wartime service. Property tax deductions are also available to disabled Hoosier Veterans.
- The state of Virginia offers Honorary High School Diplomas for veterans who served during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War and were not able to finish high school.
