Federal VA benefits are the same in every state. Many states add their own programs on top of federal compensation: property tax exemptions, tuition waivers, state employment preference, and license-plate or ID designations. This directory links to each state’s official VA department and summarizes its most commonly cited programs. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are covered; tap a jurisdiction to see its state VA department, commonly cited benefits, and how to find a County Veterans Service Officer (CVSO) in that state.
