ATRState & TerritoryResources
Every state, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. territory administers its own benefits for veterans and military families.
All 50 States.
Every U.S. Territory.
Federal benefits are only part of the picture. Each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and every territory of the United States administers its own programs for veterans and military families — funded locally, governed locally, and claimed separately from VA benefits. Wherever you live or plan to settle, there is an agency that serves you.
Property Tax Relief
Exemptions, credits, and assessment freezes for disabled veterans and surviving spouses.
Education & Tuition
Tuition waivers, state scholarship funds, and residency exceptions at public colleges and universities.
Employment & Licensing
Hiring preferences for public employment and expedited license reciprocity for military training.
Housing & Emergency Relief
Veterans homes, rental and mortgage assistance, and emergency financial support in a crisis.
Health & Long-Term Care
State-operated nursing homes and long-term care facilities that supplement VA care.
Burial Honors & Cemeteries
State and territorial veterans cemeteries, markers, and burial benefits for eligible veterans.
Identify your jurisdiction
Every state, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. territory operates its own veterans affairs office. That office — not the federal VA — administers locally funded benefits.
Speak with a Veteran Service Officer
Most agencies staff accredited Veteran Service Officers who help file claims, gather evidence, and pursue appeals at no cost to you.
Ask what is specific to where you live
Eligibility rules, deadlines, and application procedures vary by jurisdiction. Confirm the details with your agency before you file.
