<p>Question: Why can’t VA lower the percentage for dental benefits to all honorably discharged Veterans?</p>

<p>Answer:</p>

<ul>
<li>Eligibility for dental benefits varies, with several qualifying conditions, including compensable and non-compensable service-connected disabilities.</li>

<li>Specific programs provide limited dental care, such as Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, homelessness programs, and care-related needs.</li>
</ul>

<p>Question: Why does VA not pay for cremation instead of burial?</p>

<p>Answer:</p>

<ul>
<li>VA’s burial allowance covers all legal methods of disposition, including cremation, burial at sea, and medical school donation.</li>
</ul>

<p>Question: Why does VA only offer a $40,000 maximum life insurance policy for Veterans with PTSD?</p>

<p>Answers:</p>

<ul>
<li>VALife offers guaranteed acceptance coverage up to $40,000, designed to be self-supporting.</li>

<li>Premium offsets require congressional funding.</li>

<li>Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI) allows for higher coverage conversion up to $500,000 after separation from service.</li>
</ul>

The medical standards for treating any health conditions you may have

Veterans Canteen Service (VCS) Home
This makes Canteen practices more friendly to the environment, while also reducing costs.Customers can also “eat and earn” by picking up a Creation Station loyalty card. By purchasing any nine Creation Station meals and receiving the corresponding stamps on their cards, customers can get a 10th sandwich, wrap, salad, bowl, or pizza for free.“Creation Station is Whole Health-focused and environmentally friendly, but it’s also a great value for our Veteran customers,” Swehla said. “Above all, it’s fun. I hope everyone has a chance to pick their own toppings, mix things up, and enjoy the variety.”Since 1946, Veterans Canteen Service has provided reasonably priced merchandise and services essential to the comfort and well-being of America’s Veterans enrolled in VA healthcare.
 

Diversity Award
 James Leahy, executive director of the St. Louis-based Veterans Canteen Service (VCS), was recently named one of three individuals to earn a Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary's Diversity and Inclusion Excellence Award. This annual award shows the cultivation of an inclusive work environment, an engaged organization that celebrates diversity and the empowerment of all contributors within VCS.Since Leahy assumed the top leadership position with VCS on March 1, 2021, VCS has made a multitude of cultural changes. During his first year as VCS executive director, Leahy developed a succession planning committee and established a VCS diversity and inclusion advisory council. VCS also introduced a mentorship program, which prepares leaders to take on larger roles within the organization. VCS is amplifying minority and women representation amongst VCS management officials and overseeing major increases in employee survey response rates.“To this year’s awardees, thank you for your devotion to Veterans, for your dedication to advocacy, and for your commitment to Veterans and to your fellow employees,” said Denis McDonough, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “When we value one another and the diverse talents and backgrounds of those we work with and those we serve, we demonstrate respect for one another. That’s a critical part of achieving excellence as we serve and care for Veterans.”Leahy’s award nomination listed his leadership, distinguished performance in cultivating a diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace, and significant achievements as worthy of recognition.

 How to Support Veterans 

 

Welcome to Veterans Employment Toolkit
Our aim is to help employers, managers and supervisors, human resource professionals, and employee assistance program (EAP) providers relate to and support their employees who are Veterans and members of the Reserve and National Guard.
In this toolkit, you can learn about Veterans and the military, such as what Veterans bring to the workplace and what the military structure and culture is like. You can also learn how to support employees who are Veterans or members of the Reserve or National Guard in the workplace, through reading about common challenges and how to help, reviewing communication tips, reading a report about Veterans in the workplace, or by downloading handouts to use with EAP clients. Finally, Veterans and their family members can find employment resources for Veterans.

Online Training Supporting Veterans in the Workplace 
This web based program educates EAP providers about how to support and help Veterans address some common re-adjustment issues they may encounter in the civilian workplace.
