Stand Up and Be Counted!
The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs is here to help you navigate the many federal, state, and local resources and benefits available to veterans. Whether you have a specific question or would simply like us to help identify programs and benefits for which you may be eligible, our Veteran Service Officers are standing by to help.
By Standing Up to Be Counted, you will also be assisting your fellow veterans by helping IDVA and the entire veteran advocacy community to gain a better understanding of who and where Illinois' veterans are. This will help us plan for future services, lobby for further federal VA funding and facilities, and generally serve Illinois' veterans better.

The Veteran of the Month award highlights the work of community activists who also happen to be military veterans. Each month, on behalf of Governor Pat Quinn, Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs Director Erica Borggren will recognize a different person or group that contributes to the betterment of communities across the state of Illinois.
