The
location of our office in Washington DC, allows the VFW to monitor Congress
and to administer our Veterans' Services program. The VFW has more than 100
trained service officers to assist any veteran, or their dependents, obtain
federal or state entitlements.
VFW
service officers also assist veterans seeking discharge upgrades, record corrections,
education benefits, disability compensation, pension eligibility and other veterans'
needs. Field representatives regularly inspect VA healthcare facilities, regional
offices and national cemeteries. In addition, civil service and employment specialists
monitor laws concerning veterans' preference in federal employment and represent
veterans in grievances regarding employment in the federal, state and private
sectors. A recent addition to the Washington DC, office is the Tactical Assessment
Center, a 24-hour help line for veterans with questions or concerns about VA
entitlements. (1-800-vfw-1899)
VFW's
National Legislative Service office monitors all legislation affecting veterans.
It alerts VFW membership to key veterans' legislation under consideration and
actively lobbies Congress and the administration on veterans' issues. It often
assists congressional staffs in preparing veterans' legislation.
VFW's
National Security and Foreign Affairs office monitors national security and
foreign affairs issues.
