Veterans & Military

DisabilityInfo.gov (www.DisabilityInfo.gov) is a federal Web site designed to offer people with disabilities and many others access to the information and resources they need to live full and independent lives in the workplace and in their communities. Managed by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) (www.dol.gov/odep), DisabilityInfo.gov offers a broad range of valuable information, not only for people with disabilities, but also their family members, service providers, employers and many others.

Easy to navigate, DisabilityInfo.gov is organized by subject areas that include benefits, civil rights, community life, education, employment, health, housing, technology and transportation. Many of these subject areas include a special section devoted to veterans and the military community and provide access to resources at the national, state and local level for transitioning services members, veterans and military spouses.

With 22 federal agencies contributing content to this Web site, including the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs as well as the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service, DisabilityInfo.gov contains extensive, frequently updated information on a host of cross-cutting topics. Subject areas of particular interest to transitioning service members and veterans with service-connected disabilities include information on reemployment rights and employment assistance; links to education and training opportunities as well as independent living services; and access to financial assistance through grants and guaranteed loan programs.

DisabilityInfo.gov also offers a free subscription service where you can sign up to receive DisabilityInfo Connection, our quarterly newsletter, as well as other e-mail alerts covering information tailored to your individual interests.
