About Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care, disability compensation, education benefits (the GI Bill), home loans, life insurance, and burial benefits to veterans and their families.
The simplest way to reach the VA is the MyVA411 main information line, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It works as a single front door: instead of hunting for the right office, you call one number, say what you need, and it connects you to the correct team or transfers you to a live agent. Veterans commonly call to check a disability claim, ask about health-care eligibility or appointments, get GI Bill or education questions answered, or reach the Veterans Crisis Line for urgent mental-health support.
Many services are also available online at va.gov, where you can check claim status, refill prescriptions, send secure messages to your care team, and manage appointments. If you are in crisis, the Veterans Crisis Line is reached by dialing 988 and then pressing 1 — available around the clock.
