Where are you right now?

Pick the one that sounds like you — everything behind it was written for your situation.

Still in uniform

You are still in uniform

You have not separated yet, and the clock is running. This is the window where the biggest opportunities are still open to you — and most of them close the day you sign out.

  • SkillBridgeGet paid to learn a civilian job during your last 180 days, still drawing base pay, housing and meals.
  • The six-month runway calculatorWork out how long your money actually lasts after the last paycheck, before you need it to.
Just separated

You just got out, or you are getting out now

The first year is where the deadlines live. Several benefits expire on a timer from your separation date and nobody calls to remind you.

Retired / been out a while

You have been out a while, or you are retired

Different programs, different agencies, and most of them are not run by the VA at all — which is exactly where people get bounced and give up.

  • Six benefits retirees missAid & Attendance, Medicare Extra Help, home repair grants and property tax relief, with the eligibility gates the headlines leave out.
Survivor or family member

You lost your service member

For surviving spouses, children and parents. These benefits are yours in your own right — they are not a leftover of somebody else's claim.

No matter who you are

These do not belong to any one group. They apply whether you got out last month or thirty years ago.

Travel and lodging helpFourteen programs that cover or discount travel, flights and lodging — and a plain statement of which ones require a medical reason and which do not.
The VA home loan guideWhat the benefit actually is, what it costs, and the questions to ask before a lender asks them of you.
Free calculatorsSix-month runway, loan payment, house hack and trip cost. Spreadsheets you keep, not forms you fill in here.
The 100+ page binderEverything above and a great deal more, sorted by area, free to any veteran or family member.
110+ business start guidesThinking about starting your own trade, food, service or retail business — one business, one guide, real licensing and cost ranges.
The whole toolkit in one fileThe benefit guides plus three of the four calculators, bundled together so you can keep it offline, on a phone or a thumb drive.
After the UniformA Facebook group where you can ask live questions and get an answer from somebody who has been through it. For Soldiers, veterans, spouses, families and local community members around Fort Riley. Free, and nothing is sold in it.

What we are and what we are not

Veteran's Strategic Solutions LLC is not an accredited Veterans Service Organization, not a law firm, not a lender and not a tax advisor. These pages are informational only, they are not legal, financial, medical or tax advice, and nothing here guarantees eligibility. Rates and rules change every year — every page carries the date it was last checked and a link to the official source.

Never pay anyone to file a VA claim. An accredited representative — DAV, VFW, American Legion, AMVETS, or your county Veterans Service Officer — does it free, by federal law.
