Welcome to the official web site of the Department of Veterans Affairs
VRAP offers 12 months of training assistance to Veterans who are at least 35 years old but no older than 60. Eligible participants will receive up to 12 months of training assistance at the full-time payment rate under the Montgomery GI Bill–Active Duty program. DOL will offer employment assistance to every Veteran who participates or applies to the VRAP program.
Our goal is to ensure that every veteran in the State of North Dakota who has served in the military receives every benefit to which he or she may be entitled from the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), allied agencies, and from the State of North Dakota.
The Department has the responsibility of training the Tribal Service Officers and County Veterans Service Officers (who service 53 counties), appointed by their respective County Board of Commissioners. The department disseminates current information to the state veteran population through the use of news media, County Veterans Service Officers and veterans organizations.
The Department also conducts a minimum of two training seminars each year. We accept and carry through to completion claims for entitlement from the US DVA (VA), counsel veterans on employment, educational programs, disability benefits, medical care entitlement, nursing home assistance, death benefits, and other related veterans activities. The Department, working under the supervision of the Administrative Committee, also monitors legislation and assists others in acquiring information. We also administer the Veterans Aid Loan Program, the Transportation Program, and Hardship Grant Program.
We hope that your questions are answered by the information you will find on this site; if they are not, or you would like further details on a particular issue, please don't hesitate to contact us.
