Benefits Assistance - Tazewell, Virginia Department of Veterans Services

657 West Main Street, Tazewell, VA 24651

Eligibility for most federal and state benefits is based on discharge from active military service under other than dishonorable conditions. Active service means full-time service as a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or as a commissioned officer of the public health service, the Environmental Services Administration, or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Current and former members of the Selected Reserve may be eligible for certain benefits, such as home loan guaranties and education, if they meet time-in-service and other criteria. Men and women veterans with similar service are entitled to the same federal and state veterans benefits. The eligibility policy is set by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. To determine potential eligibility for such benefits visit the Veterans Benefits Administration page.
