About the Veterans Benefits Administration

The Veterans Benefits Administration is one of three Administrations forming the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. We offer a wide range of benefits to our Nation’s Veterans, Service members, and their families and survivors.

We employ approximately 35,000 people nationwide. Of these, over 50% are Veterans, and many more are closely related to Veterans.
