OLGT 2019-10: Cross Programs: Veterans and Active Duty Military Personnel

The Department recognizes that veterans, active duty military personnel and their families may often face unforeseen barriers to participation in DTA programs and often have difficulty accessing non-DTA community programs. Accordingly, DTA is increasing its focus on assisting this unique population. By capturing each household member’s veteran or active military status, the Department will be better able to assist with program referrals and maximizing potential benefits. 

To aid in accomplishing these goals a new US Military Service page has been added to BEACON, a new State Veterans’ Benefits page has been added to the Online Guide, and a new Veterans Vendor Payments Form has been developed to aid clients and staff.
