Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E, Chapter 31)

Veterans and service members with a service-connected disability

VR&E helps veterans with service-connected disabilities prepare for, find and keep suitable jobs, or live more independently. Support can include career counseling, training or education, job placement help, and help starting a business. It can pay for education and include a monthly subsistence allowance.

How to use it

Apply on VA.gov and meet with a vocational rehabilitation counselor near where you will live.
