The American Legion’s Regional Office Action Review (ROAR) investigative team conducts site visits at VA regional offices where claims are processed in order to gauge success, monitor efficiency and collect information to help the Veterans Benefits Administration reduce its backlog of unresolved cases. The American Legion’s national website offers two online features to help veterans in pursuit of their benefits: 1. An online Veterans Benefits Calculator to help veterans and their families collect the documentation they need to prepare a claim before filing 2. A service-officer locator that provides contact information for department service officers in every state who are trained to help them complete the process

The American Legion’s Veterans Employment & Education Commission focuses on the transition from military service to civilian careers. Vital to this work are relationships with entities offering programs to help veterans prosper in the nation they swore to defend, including:

  • Military.com (and its parent company, the online job-placement company Monster.com)
  • Avue Technologies (an online service for veterans seeking careers in the federal government)
  • Department of Labor
  • U.S. Chamber of Commerce
  • Small Business Administration
  • The Veterans Employment & Education Commission also provides national leadership in veterans education services, including the modernization of a GI Bill that better meets the needs of the 21st-century veteran.
