The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Virginia Department of Veterans
Services, Virginia Wounded Warrior Program and the Virginia Department of
Corrections have partnered to provide this guidebook to help you and your
family achieve your goals for a successful re-entry to your community. If you
are currently in a state prison, a healthcare for re-entry veterans (HCRV)
specialist is available to meet with you when you are within six months of a
projected release date. If you are in a local jail, a veterans justice outreach (VJO)
specialist is available to assist you in preparing for a successful reentry back in to
your community. Upon your release, the Virginia Wounded Warrior Program
coordinator in your region is an ideal resource that can help you connect to the
U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other community services.
Upon your release, you may feel overwhelmed by the challenges you face.
However, the people, organizations, and contacts in this guidebook are here to
help you successfully transition back to your family and community.
Prior to your release, make sure your caseworker, counselor, or jail services
officer contacts either the re-entry specialist if you are in prison or the veterans
justice outreach specialist if you are in jail. This will ensure you are included in
these programs. Or, you may write to them at the addresses listed on page 8.
If you are incarcerated in a federal facility, have your caseworker contact the re-
entry specialist or write to the reentry specialist at the facility where you are

located. Give the re-entry specialist your projected release date and request the
specialist’s help in identifying resources and opportunities to help you return to
the community.
We want this to be a personable and respectful document to assist you during
your incarceration, planning for your release, and your return to the
community. Many have gone before you, successfully returning to their
communities with the help of many of the people and organizations in this
guidebook. Many people have confidence in your ability to succeed and are
willing to help you achieve your goals as a productive and law abiding member
of the community.

VA Benefits During Incarceration
here is a 60-day grace period following conviction where the veteran or recipient of
Dependents and Survivors Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) may still
receive full benefits. If the veteran continues to receive benefits after the 60-day period,
it will result in an overpayment. According to the VA, it is the recipient’s responsibility to
notify the VA of his or her incarceration. Attempts to obtain a waiver in these situations of
overpayment are often unsuccessful. As a rule, the veteran loses most, if not all, financial
benefits until the entire overpayment is recovered by the VA. It is also a standard procedure
that the family will not be entitled to receive an apportionment until the debt is completely
recovered.
REMEMBER, you must notify the VA when you are released to restart your payments. The
Virginia VA Regional Office is located at 210 Franklin Road, S.W., Roanoke, VA 24011. You may
contact the VA by calling 1-800-827-1000.
Family Benefits—Apportionment
Financial Payments to Your Family
Although a veteran can only receive a portion of the full amount payable for his or her
disability rating, the remaining balance may be divided among (apportioned) the individual’s
dependent family. To apply for apportionment, the dependent must send a letter to the VA
Regional Office that has jurisdiction over the veteran’s case. The dependent is the family
member who qualifies to receive the benefits, for example your spouse.
VA regulations clearly specify this apportionment amount will only go to family members if
they can show financial need. This applies to the spouse, children, or dependent parents who
are involved in the application. The VA will decide whether partial payment of benefits is
appropriate, the amount of benefits, and who will receive the payments. The VA will consider
the following factors:
• The family member’s income and living expenses;
• The amount of compensation available to be apportioned;
Section

T

• The needs and living expenses of other family members; and
• Special needs of any of the family members.
Help for Veterans
If you are in a state prison, the Healthcare for Re-entry Veterans (HCRV) program is an
excellent place to start planning for your release and re-entry to community life. If you are in a
local jail, the starting place is the Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) program. Use the
information on this page to contact specialists for these programs.

individualized and respectful assistance to enhance your adjustment to the community and to
ensure your treatment needs are met.
Ask for help from your case worker, counselor, treatment program, jail services officer, or
other correctional staff to contact the HCVR specialist if you are in a state prison or the VJO
specialist if you are in a local jail.
The VA has programs, treatment, and services that may assist you. However, you may need to
be persistent and stay focused on the goals for you and your family. The following section lists
some of the benefits your military service may entitle you to.
About the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

• Rapid access to employment
• Self employment

• Benefits: The school will report a veteran’s status as incarcerated on the
certification and note whether the federal, state, or local government is paying all or
part of the cost for tuition, fees, books, equipment, or supplies and the amounts
paid.
• Time Limits: Benefits are available for up to 15 years from the last period of active
duty of at least 90 consecutive days. This also applies if released for a service-
connected disability after at least 30 days of continuous service.
Home Loans
The VA offers a number of home loan services to eligible veterans, some military
personnel, and certain surviving spouses.
• Guaranteed Loans: The VA can guarantee part of a loan from a private lender to
help you buy a home, a manufactured home, a lot for a manufactured home, or
certain types of condominiums. VA also guarantees loans for building, repairing,
and improving homes. More information is available at
http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/.
• Refinancing Loans: If you have a VA mortgage, the VA can help you refinance
your loan at a lower interest rate. You may also refinance a non-VA loan.
• Special Grants: Certain disabled veterans and military personnel can receive
grants to adapt or acquire housing suitable for their needs.
• Time Limits: There is no time limit for a VA home loan.
Life Insurance
• Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) is low-cost term life insurance
for service members and reservists. Coverage of up to $400,000 begins when you
enter the service. Generally, it expires 120 days after you leave the service.
Traumatic SGLI is automatically included in SGLI and provides for payment up to
$100,000 for service members who lose limbs or incur other serious injuries.
• Veterans Group Life Insurance (VGLI) is renewable term life insurance for
veterans who want to convert their SGLI up to an amount not to exceed the
coverage you had when you separated from service. You must apply within one
year and 120 days from separation.
• Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance, also called RH insurance, is for service-
connected disabled veterans. Coverage is $10,000. You may be eligible for a $20,000
supplemental policy if you are totally disabled. You must apply for RH within two
years of being rated service-connected by the VA.
Dependents and Survivors Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)
DIC is payable to certain survivors of:
• Service members who died on active duty
![](asset-e.png)
VETERANS RE-ENTRY ROADMAP
12
• Veterans who died from service-related disabilities
• Certain veterans who were being paid 100% VA disability compensation at the time
of death.
• Death Pension is payable to some surviving spouses and children of deceased
wartime veterans. The benefit is based on financial need.
• Parents’ DIC is payable to some surviving parents. The benefit is based on financial
need.
Applying for Benefits
To complete the claims process, you will need your DD214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty). To obtain a copy of your DD214, you may contact a Virginia Department of
Veterans Services benefit services office for assistance with submitting Form SF-180. You may
download a copy of the SF-180 from http://www.archives.gov/veterans or you may request a
copy by calling 1-866-272-6272. Visit http://www.VirginiaforVeterans.com to find a DVS office
near you. DVS mailing addresses are located in Section 3: Resources.
The information required for the enrollment process and determination of eligibility for a
disability rating may seem overwhelming. However, an HCRV or VJO program specialist
will help you complete the enrollment documents and submit them on your behalf. The
HCRV/VJO specialist will make sure all details are included. The specialist will also be
able to monitor your status and inform you accordingly.
The enrollment document (1010EZ) will determine your eligibility for VA healthcare
benefits. Eligibility is determined by the character of your discharge from the military, the
length of time you were on active duty, and the presence of a service-connected disability.
The HCRV/VJO specialist will discuss eligibility with you when you meet and help you
complete form 1010EZ. The outcome of your request for enrollment will provide you
with facts concerning your eligibility for VA benefits. There are contacts at each VA
medical center and you will receive that information when you meet with the
HCRV/VJO.
The HCRV/VJO specialist will provide you with contact information for the VA medical
center nearest you. This person will be available to assist you in navigating the VA
healthcare system. In many cases the contact person will be the homeless coordinator or
someone in that program. Refer to the list of VA medical centers in Virginia in Section 3:
Resources.
![](asset-f.png)
VETERANS RE-ENTRY ROADMAP
13
Following Up on Your Claim
You will receive a confirmation letter from the VA advising you of the status of your
eligibility for benefits. This correspondence will be mailed to the address identified when
you meet with the HCRV/VJO specialist. You will be determined as eligible, ineligible, or
unable to determine as eligible. If you disagree with the determination, you may appeal
the decision and submit documents in support of your claim.
Be sure to obtain a copy of your DD214 since this is an important document to submit if
your eligibility is denied or more information is needed to confirm your eligibility for VA
healthcare. Keep the original for your records and submit only a copy of your DD214.
If your eligibility is confirmed or if you want to contest the preliminary eligibility
determination, visit the VA medical center of your choice to register for care. Make an
appointment to meet with the contact person at the VA medical center so he or she can
assist you with the registration process.
You will need a picture identification in order to register for healthcare (the picture
identification provided by the prison is adequate for registration purposes).
You will be asked to update your information. At the time of registration you may
schedule an appointment for primary care. You will also be photographed for a VA
identification card.
Make sure you receive an appointment with a primary care physician in a timely manner if
you are prescribed medications. Typically the prison or jail will provide you with at least a
30 day supply of medication. In most cases you may be able to see a VA physician within
30 days. In case of an emergency, you may be seen in the emergency department at the VA
medical center.
Your primary care physician is an essential contact. You may request specialized services
such as mental health, substance use, and other assistance from this physician.

Getting Started
Virginia Community Re-entry Initiative
The Virginia Community Re-entry Initiative (VCRI) is a community-based re-entry
approach that is voluntarily implemented by a number of Virginia localities. Like other
resources in this manual, these organizations are committed to helping you successfully re-
enter community life. Participating localities establish a local re-entry council that
coordinates local resources to reduce recidivism, maximize opportunities for former
offenders to successfully return to the community, and to support family and community
reintegration. The re-entry council can serve as referral points for your pre-release
planning. The re-entry councils are listed in Section 3: Resources.
Virginia Department of Veterans Services (DVS)
DVS operates 22 benefit services offices where representatives help veterans and their
family members file claims for federal and state veterans benefits. The Virginia Wounded
Warrior Program coordinates support and services for veterans and their families affected
by stress-related injuries, such as post traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries. The
agency also certifies that post-secondary educational institutions meet G.I. Bill funding and
eligibility requirements, enabling veterans and family members to pursue educational
opportunities.
DVS operates two veterans long-term care facilities. The Virginia Veterans Care Center in
Roanoke is a 240-bed facility offering skilled nursing, domiciliary, and Alzheimer’s/dementia
care for veterans. The 160-bed Sitter & Barfoot Veterans Care Center is located in Richmond
and provides skilled nursing and Alzheimer’s/dementia care.
The agency operates three veterans cemeteries: the Virginia Veterans Cemetery in Amelia, the
Albert G. Horton, Jr. Memorial Veterans Cemetery in Suffolk, and the Southwest Virginia
Veterans Cemetery in Dublin.

Virginia Wounded Warrior Program
In response to the growing need to improve and expand services to our nation’s veterans
and service members, the Commonwealth of Virginia established the Virginia Wounded
Warrior Program (VWWP) in 2008. It is operated by the Virginia Department of Veterans
Services in cooperation with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental
Services and the Department of Rehabilitative Services.
The VWWP supports the following persons on their road to recovery from the effects of
stress-related injuries, such as post traumatic stress disorder, or traumatic brain injuries:
• Veterans of any era who are Virginia residents
• Members of the Virginia National Guard not in active federal service
• Virginia residents in the Armed Forces Reserves not in active federal service
• Family members of veterans and members of Guard and Reserve not in active
federal service
Regional coalitions of community services boards, brain injury services providers and other
public and private service providers are offering services across the Commonwealth. These
coalitions enhance the existing array of services in their communities based on an ongoing
assessment of local needs. Following are examples of the services that may be available
through these networks of public and private providers:
• Comprehensive and timely assessment
• Rehabilitative services
• Care coordination
• Peer and family support
• Outpatient treatment
• Linkage to benefits, housing, employment and educational programs
VWWP regional directors and regional coordinators will be able to assist you as your
reenter community life. They can be an important local contact for obtaining healthcare,
behavioral healthcare, or other community supports.
To reach your regional office for further information or assistance, call the toll free
number at 1-877-285-1299 or the central office at 804-371-4675.
The VWWP regional directors and regional coordinators are listed in Section 3: Resources.

Healthcare
Every VA medical center has a healthcare for homeless veterans (HCHV) coordinator who
is responsible for helping homeless veterans access VA and community-based care to end
homelessness among veterans. The HCHV program provides outreach, clinical assessments
and referrals for medical and mental healthcare, long-term transitional residential
assistance, case management, and employment assistance with linkage to permanent
housing.
HCHV is an outreach program that sees homeless veterans at VA medical centers in
Richmond, Hampton, and Salem. The goal of this program is to provide medical care to
homeless veterans while allowing them to access substance abuse and/or mental health
treatment.
Some VA medical centers have Drop in Group Medical Appointment Clinics (DIGMA). In
Virginia DIGMAs are located in Richmond and Hampton. This program allows homeless
veterans to enroll in and receive continuing medical treatment. In Hampton the clinic
meets on Tuesday afternoon and in Richmond it meets daily. Any homeless veteran who is
eligible for VA services can attend except those requiring narcotic medications. Mental
health screening is also available for those attending the clinic.
The coordinator for the homeless program at each medical center is a valuable resource for
information and referrals to housing programs. Resources vary from location to location
and the homeless programs have specific information regarding resources in their
respective areas.
Make sure you contact the homeless coordinator at the VA medical center where you
receive care if you need housing assistance.
Some veterans may have an immediate need for housing as part of their home plan. Most
programs in Virginia will not admit veterans directly from prison or jail. The exception is
the Salvation Army Veterans Transitional Housing Program in Hampton (see Section 3:
Resources). This program requires an interview which may be conducted by phone. The
HCRV/VJO specialist can arrange for this interview after meeting with you. You
caseworker or jail services officer may provide you with telephone access to facilitate the
interview.
This section includes ways to locate emergency shelter, transitional programs, and
permanent housing assistance. Transitional or temporary housing can serve as a step
toward full independence upon your release. However, there are often waiting lists for
housing assistance programs, so you should ask about applying as soon as possible. If you
are released and find yourself homeless, emergency assistance is available by calling 1-877-
4AID-VET (1-877-424-3838) or at http://www.va.gov/HOMELESS/NationalCenter.asp.

Employment
Employment is one of the biggest barriers between you and successful re-entry. Don't wait
until you get out to start thinking about employment. Start planning now! Ask for job
counseling and training while incarcerated so you are prepared to work when released.
Obtain and keep copies of any education, training, or trade certifications you may have
from your work or training while you are incarcerated. These could make a difference in
getting hired. You also may be able to obtain references relevant to your employment.

work habits, and regain a sense of self-esteem. Veterans are paid for their
work and given assistance with employment in the community. Virginia
currently has veterans industries programs located at the VA medical
centers in Richmond, Salem, and Hampton.

even though you won't receive the benefits until after your release. Food stamps can be
applied for together with SSI. Normally, it takes about three months to review an
application; so, apply well before your release date. It is best to get help filling out the
application. For detailed information or assistance, call 1-800-772-1213 or call or your local
social security administration office listed in the phone book blue pages. You also can go
to http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi/index.htm.
Other programs may be available in your area. Check the community services section of
your phonebook. Look for listings such as the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities or
Catholic Social Services, the Salvation Army, United Way, 2-1-1, and other non-profit
providers.
Legal Assistance
Legal issues:
Most law is state-specific. Most common legal problems are governed by the law in the
state where you live or where the problem occurred. When looking for legal help, make
sure the information you find applies to your state or that the lawyer or other service
provider is qualified to work in your state.
The American Bar Association has a web site with guidelines about free legal services
and links to directories of legal aid offices and pro-bono programs. Go to www.abanet.org.
The Virginia Bar Association has a program called Virginia Lawyers Serving Veterans.
Go to http://www.vba.com or call 804-644-0041.
Legal Services or Legal Aid offices have staff lawyers who provide free legal help.
Look in the yellow pages for a local legal aid office or check online for the program nearest
you.
Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR) Fresh Start
Lawyers in private practice sometimes volunteer in pro-bono programs to take cases for
poor clients free of charge. Check the yellow pages to contact your local bar association
about pro-bono programs in your community. Or go to
http://www.abanet.org/barserv/stlobar.html.
