The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and state and local partners will host the North Texas Veterans Experience Action Center (VEAC) from July 18-20, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Veterans and their loved ones will receive assistance with VA benefits, health care and other services. All appointments will take place over the telephone.
This free virtual event provides 1-on-1 assistance and connects Veterans, caregivers, Service members, survivors and family members with VA, state, and community partners to obtain claim status updates; file claims; enroll in VA health care and schedule appointments; military transition services; new PACT Act eligibility for Agent Orange, burn pits, and other toxic exposures; housing solutions; temporary financial assistance; family member, caregiver, and survivor benefits and services; and more.
A Veteran from a recent VEAC said:
“I contacted VA 15 years ago and never received this kind of service. Being able to talk to someone made the difference instead of writing a letter and not knowing where to turn, I don’t feel lost anymore. This is a great service, and now I have someone representing my claim.”
The North Texas VEAC is a virtual event in which residents can be seamlessly connected to the full range of VA and community-based services and resources.
VEACs are a collaboration that includes representation from the Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Benefits Administration, National Cemetery Administration, state Departments of Veterans Affairs, Veteran Service Officers and community partners working together to offer one-on-one personalized assistance.
Appointments are available from 10 a.m.– 3 p.m. CT, Tuesday, July 18 – Thursday, July 20. When registering, participants will have the option to schedule a virtual appointment time and day, that best fits their availability. A VA representative will call the Veteran during the scheduled time to provide assistance as needed.
Registration runs through July 14th. Appointment availability is limited. Please note this event is for residents of North Texas counties only—all out-of-area registrations will be canceled.
