Returning Combat Veterans

Welcome Home and Job Well Done!
We value your service and sacrifice and the sacrifice of your families who also serve. Now it's our turn to serve YOU!

You have 5 years from your date of discharge to receive free health care for any condition that may be related to combat service. Whether or not you choose to use VA health care after separation, you must enroll with VA within 5 years to get health care benefits later on. After the 5 years, a co-payment status will depend on whether your illness or injury is found to be service-connected.
If you have served in Operations Enduring & Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF), please contact us in any of the following ways:

By Phone: Call Readjustment Services at 1-800-444-0001.
In Person: Go to Centralized Check-In in the main building.
