The Nebraska Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Health and Human Services are partnering to “ask the question” of military service by individuals and family members. The goal is to increase awareness of state and federal benefits and services available to veterans in Nebraska. By doing so, more veterans will be able to connect with resources and services specific to their needs.
Where do I come in?
The Nebraska Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Health and Human Services are encouraging service providers and local agencies across the state to “ask the question” (Have you or a family member ever served in the military?) on intake forms and interviews where appropriate. These include:
- Hospitals
- Mental Health Care Centers
- Senior Centers
- Employment Offices
- Courts
- Schools
- Law Enforcement
How can I help?
“Ask the question” on intake forms and interviews where appropriate to help veterans and their families connect with services and benefits available to them.
Is there information I should provide to someone after I "ask the question?"
Please provide the individual with the contact information listed below or the provided trifold pamphlet with information on veteran benefits to military, veterans, and/or family members who self-identify after you “ask the question.”
