This event is completely free for both employers and job candidates / seekers, providing an excellent opportunity to connect and explore career opportunities.

VA Issues Notice on Residency Verification for Veterans and Survivors

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has published a notice requesting public feedback on VA Form Letter 21-914 (Residency Verification Report—Veterans and Survivors). This form is used by the Veterans Benefits Administration to confirm whether veterans and surviving beneficiaries receiving full-dollar rate benefits continue to meet U.S. residency requirements.

How to Comment: Submissions can be made online via regulations.gov.

For full details, read the official notice on the Federal Register at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/02/2026-20218/agency-information-collection-activity-residency-verification-report-veterans-and-survivors?utm_campaign=subscription+mailing+list&utm_medium=email&utm_source=federalregister.gov.

If you are a family member of a fallen veteran, you are eligible for a presidential memorial certificate in honor of your veteran.

Most people are not informed of this and is free of charge provided through the DVA.

If you would like to learn more or need help in applying for one, contact me. That's what I am here for as your local VA-accredited claims agent.
