Vocational rehabilitation This program provides assistance to service-disabled veterans to live independently; become employable; and find and keep new jobs. Evaluation and counseling services help plan a vocational rehabilitation program, or a program to improve the potential for independent living. Eligible veterans may enroll in schools or colleges; train on the job or on a farm; or enter programs that combine school and job training. While enrolled in a rehabilitation program, veterans receive a monthly subsistence allowance in addition to compensation or retirement pay. The amount of subsistence is determined based on the number of family members and the type of training received. Each program of rehabilitation is tailored to meet the rehabilitation needs of the individual veteran. Seriously disabled veterans may pursue comprehensive training in their own homes, in rehabilitation centers or in other training facilities. Medical care and other supportive services, such as tutorial assistance, may be provided. Advancements from a revolving fund, work-study programs, counseling, job placement and post-placement services are also available. If you would like more information or if you know a veteran who could benefit from this, please let me know.
