"Making a difference in the lives of Wisconsin Veterans"
 |

Welcome to the website of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA). I often speak about my four-point vision for WDVA. First and foremost, I believe that we must fully honor our commitment to Wisconsin’s veterans. As long as I am Secretary, that commitment to Wisconsin’s veterans will never waiver. Second, I firmly believe that WDVA must always ensure stakeholder involvement, working hard to extend and expand the department’s critically important relationships with all the veterans’ service organizations, county veterans service officers, key leaders, VA officials, and many others. Third, I believe that WDVA must continue strong and positive legislative partnerships, at the state and federal levels and on both sides of the aisle, working in a non-partisan manner to ensure that the needs and goals of Wisconsin’s veterans continue to be met. Finally, my vision for WDVA is to ensure the solvency of the Veterans Trust Fund. As always, please contact WDVA directly if we can be of assistance. |

VA eligibility rules changed on June 15, 2009, making it easier for more Veterans to enroll in VA’s health care system. Under this new regulation, VA relaxed income restrictions on enrollment for health benefits. While this new provision does not remove consideration of income, it does increase income thresholds. A web–based calculator is available for Veterans to enter their income information, dependents, and zip code to assess if their income would fall within the proposed income threshold adjustments. Veterans are encouraged to contact VA’s Health Resource Center at 1–877–222 VETS (8387) or visit the VA health eligibility website for more information. |
