The Staten Island Vet Center will hold a webinar about the US Department of Veterans Affairs Transition Assistance Program on Friday, December 10, 2pm (EST).
About 200,000 service members transition to civilian life each year. The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) provides information, resources, and tools to service members and their loved ones to help prepare for the move from military to civilian life. Service members begin TAP one year prior to separation, or two years prior to retiring.
There are unique challenges that members of the reserve components experience in their dual citizen-service member role. This webinar will show you resources specifically tailored to members of the reserve/guard components. The presentation also highlights separation documents specific for reserve component-specific eligibility information.
Learn how to navigate VA and the benefits and services you’ve earned through your military career. This presentation offers interactive exercises, real examples, and covers topics important to you like family support, disability compensation, education, and health care benefits.
There will be a Q & A after the presentation.
Once registered, participants will receive an email with a form that must be filled out and returned prior to the event.
