Overseas Veteran Podcast - Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) Introduction

Overseas Veteran Podcast - Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) Introduction

If there were an acronym that every service member transitioning/retiring from service should know it's VR&E (previously known as VOCREHAB). This is an employment program that gives significant educational benefits, 36 months of additional schooling with a stipend on top of your GI Bill! In fact, the VR&E 36 months of school are separate and distinct from your GI Bill so you can save your GI Bill for your family and use the VR&E benefits for yourself. Now, what the VA doesn't tell you is that while the barrier to entitlement into the VR&E program is low (20% service-connected disability with an employment handicap), most attempts to be found entitled to VR&E are unsuccessful. Follow this short episode and unlock your VR&E benefits! Please review the VA.GOV Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) website below for detailed information concerning the benefits available to transitioning/retiring service members who are found entitled. https://www.benefits.va.gov/vocrehab/ [https://www.benefits.va.gov/vocrehab/]

Overseas Veteran Podcast - VA General Timeline

Why spend years researching how to do your VA engagement when you can listen to this 30 minute podcast to understand what steps you need to take right now to focus your efforts so you can successfully transition or retire from the service (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, Space Force). The week-long Transition Assistance Program (TAP) classes are good but they don't tell you what you need to do right now and they are full of information that doesn't help you engage with the Veteran's Administration. Listen to this podcast and share with your friends that are transitioning or retiring. Don't be the only person without this valuable information.
