Veterans' Benefits: A Guide to State Programs

by Raymond E. Armstrong, Terry P. Rizzuti

Overview

Each of the 50 states offers benefit programs to its veteran residents, but many veterans and their families are not aware of the various options. Despite the wide variation in the benefits programs from one state to another, veterans can generally find programs that specifically address their needs in their resident state. This guidebook is the only easy-to-use reference to provide veterans, their families, and those interested in veterans' issues with a simple guide to the various programs available through the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In addition to entries on each of the states, the book concludes with an appendix giving a brief synopsis of federal benefit programs.
