Each November, Veterans Day honors the sacrifice and service of American military veterans. With Benefits.gov, military veterans can search and discover benefits they may be eligible to receive. Benefits.gov has a database of 1,000 benefits that citizens can search to find government assistance.

Explore Benefits for Veterans
If you are a veteran in need of assistance, find out what benefits you may be eligible to receive by using our popular Benefit Finder tool.
