Our guide covers three of the most critical issues for students:
Members of the military may struggle with debt and personal finances. Your bills may have piled up while you were deployed, or you may be facing unemployment without a good education or other safety net to fall back on. Fortunately, we can help you discover programs and tools to help you control your finances.
Substance use disorders and substance abuse are fairly common among those who have served in the military. There are a number of factors that contribute to this issue, with a big one being the often lax or pro-drug culture many people in the military find themselves immersed in.
Our goal is to reach veterans and their families who have been affected by mesothelioma and connect them to our website which offers free veteran specific resources and support. 1/3 of all mesothelioma patients are veterans, since 2004 over 5,000 veterans have died from mesothelioma. The reason this cancer targets so many veterans is because of the prevalence of asbestos use in the military in the past. A large part of our mission is to help spread awareness to veterans and their families.
Veterans make up the largest group of people diagnosed with mesothelioma because asbestos was so widely used by the military. Veterans who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma are entitled to disability compensation, pension and/or medical benefits through the VA. Surviving spouses and dependents may also qualify for compensation from the VA. Part of our mission is to spread awareness to veterans and their families. Our website offers free veteran specific resources and support for patients and families.
Operation Homefront provides emergency assistance and morale to our troops, to the families they leave behind and to wounded warriors when they return home. Programs and services offered include food assistance, financial assistance, essential home items, etc.
Rebootcamp is the one-stop interactive site for service members and veterans who want to improve their prospects with a degree, a new career or a startup business.

Rehab Spot serves as a critical source of information on addiction and recovery for veterans who are struggling with substance abuse disorders as well as PTSD, and other co-occurring mental health conditions. This site is focused on educating veterans on the treatment process: from selection, to what one can expect during treatment, to entering back into a healthy and more fulfilling life after the program ends.
Disability compensation is a benefit paid to a veteran because of injuries or diseases that happened while on active duty, or were made worse by active military service. It is also paid to certain veterans disabled from VA health care. The benefits are tax-free
For Veterans with service-connected disabilities so severe that they cannot immediately consider work, VetSuccess offers services to improve their ability to live as independently as possible.
In the United States, members of the military may be subject to specific tax filing and payment rules that don't affect most taxpayers. While some of these allowances are established at the federal level, others depend on the individual's state of residence, whether they serve in an active combat zone and similar factors. Here, you will find a simple breakdown of what to expect when filing taxes as a member of the Armed Forces.
