SITREP4Vets

Benefits by life situation, with an official source for every fact.

Pick your situation

  • Moving to a New State as a Veteran

    Moving is stressful enough without wondering what happens to your benefits.

  • Buying a Home as a Veteran

    Eligibility depends on your service history. VA explains the requirements on its eligibility page (VA: eligibility for VA home loan programs).

  • Kids, Spouse & College

    There are three big federal programs for families, plus state programs that can stack on top.

  • Separating or Retiring From Service

    Leaving the military starts several clocks at once. Some deadlines can't be undone if you miss them. This guide puts them on one page, then walks through health care, life insurance and the first-year checklist.

  • Turning 65 as a Veteran

    Medicare's Initial Enrollment Period lasts 7 months: it starts 3 months before the month you turn 65 and ends 3 months after it (Medicare.gov: when coverage starts).
