Reaching Aging Veterans in Need of Benefits

NCOA is hosting a webinar focused on connecting older veterans with needed resources and benefits. This webinar will address the common communication problem that occurs as a result of veterans unfamiliar with the landscape of non-military related benefits and aging and disability counselors unfamiliar with the network of veteran benefits. The webinar will describe the three branches of the Veterans Administration (VA) and outline the  benefits connected to each branch. It will also discuss various strategies to screen and connect aging veterans to benefits and other supports.
