About Veterans Benefits Finder

Helping veterans discover the benefits they have earned through their service.

Our Mission

Many veterans are unaware of the full range of benefits available to them at the federal, state, and local levels. Our mission is to bridge that gap by making it simple to discover every benefit a veteran may qualify for -- all in one place, for free, with complete privacy.

How It Works

When you fill out your profile, our matching engine compares your information against a curated database of benefits. Each benefit has a set of eligibility rules -- such as minimum disability rating, state of residence, or service era. The engine evaluates your profile against each rule and shows you which benefits you are likely eligible for, which ones are possible, and which ones require more information. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Our Data Sources

We compile benefit information from authoritative sources across multiple levels of government and the nonprofit sector:

  • Federal benefits are sourced from VA.gov, the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR), and official VA publications.
  • State benefits are researched from each state's Department of Veterans Affairs website and verified against state statutes where available.
  • Nonprofit programs are verified through direct contact with the organizations, review of their official websites, and cross-referencing with trusted veteran resource directories.

Data Freshness

We aim to verify every benefit at least once every 90 days. Benefits verified within the last 30 days display a "Verified" badge. Benefits that have not been verified in over 90 days are flagged as "May be outdated," and those over 180 days are marked "Needs verification." If you notice stale or incorrect information, please let us know so we can update it promptly.

Privacy Commitment

We believe veterans should be able to explore their benefits without fear of surveillance or data collection. That is why everything runs locally in your browser. Read our full Privacy Policy for details.

This Tool Does Not File Claims

The Veterans Benefits Finder is an informational tool only. It does not file claims, submit applications, or interact with any government system on your behalf. To apply for benefits or file a claim, you should work with a VA-accredited Veterans Service Organization (VSO), claims agent, or attorney.

Find a VSO

Veterans Service Organizations provide free assistance with claims filing, appeals, and benefit navigation. Find an accredited representative near you through the VA's official search tool:
