Guiding You Through Available Services

We want to build the ultimate "gouge" handbook for our alumni when it comes to navigating the Veterans Administration, understanding Tricare benefits, or connecting you to a Veterans Service Organization (VSO). There is also a medical discussion board that supports alumni helping alumni in time of need.

Q: How do I find an accredited representative or a VSO?
A: You can find an accredited representative or a VSO in 1 of 2 ways:


  1. Go to eBenefits to find a local representative (including a recognized VSO, an attorney, or a claims agent) by state/territory, zip code, or the organization’s name.  

  2. Or search the VA Office of the General Counsel’s list to find VA-recognized organizations and VA-accredited individuals by name, city, state, or zip code.
