Transition Assistance

COVID-19 continues to spread and is an increasing force health protection (FHP) threat in our area:

The VA will discontinue VA benefit briefings and services on military installations for transitioning service members and their families through the interagency Transition Assistance Program (TAP) until further notice. However, VA will provide virtual briefings and individualized counseling for transitioning service members where possible. Service members who have not received these briefings, as required by TAP, may access the Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) platform and register for “TGPS-US006: VA Benefits and Services.”

Veterans with specific questions can call 1-800-827-1000 or go www.ebenefits.va.gov for additional details. Veterans can continue to get information about benefits, file a claim online or can call for claim-specific questions.

Please email or call Jalisa Barnett, VA Benefits Advisor Site, U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs  jbarnett@kck-inc.com or (571) 345-8254 (WC)
