VA (veteran affairs) has hired five new Federal Recovery Coordinators. This should be a big help to our service members and veterans.  Understanding benefits or new programs available is a full time job and most people don't even know where to look.

These Federal Recovery Coordinators will be able to assist servicemembers, Veterans and their families with access to care, services and benefits provided by Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense (DoD), and other federal agencies, states and the private sector.
