Home loans, life insurance, education, and more – here are other VA benefits that veterans need to know about

When most people think of VA benefits, they think of healthcare and disability benefits. But there are actually many more benefits that can help veterans in other areas of their lives, too.

At MRPY Professional Services, we help veterans with documentation for their VA disability benefits – but it's important to be aware of all of the other benefits that the VA offers in order to take advantage of everything that is available.

From furthering education to financing a home, these 5 VA benefits should be on your radar:

Get a home loan from the VA

Did you know the VA can help you finance your new home? That's right – home loans are available from the VA for veterans, service members, and eligible surviving spouse members. They also have several housing-related programs to help with building, repairs, and more.

Life insurance is available for veterans

Traditionally, life insurance is a financial contract with an insurance company where the client pays for insurance in exchange for a financial benefit upon passing. The VA offers different life insurance plans for veterans depending on what they qualify for, along with beneficiary financial counseling.
