Prepare For VA’s Secure Sign-in Changes
November 13, 2024
Starting in 2025, you’ll need to use a Login.gov or ID.me account to sign in to manage your VA health and benefits online. After January 31, 2025, VA will remove the option to sign in with a My HealtheVet user ID and password. You’ll still be able to use your My HealtheVet health portal—you’ll just need to sign in using a Login.gov or ID.me account. Create your account and log in using it today so you’re all set before January 31.

SWAN - Service Women's Action Network
November 7, 2024
Service Women’s Action Network (SWAN) is a nationwide nonprofit organization that advocates for and supports the needs of both service women and women veterans, regardless of rank, military branch, or years of experience. SWAN's goal is to see service women receive the opportunities, protections, benefits, and respect they earned. SWAN's efforts have included opening all military jobs to qualified service women, working to hold sex offenders accountable in the military justice system, expanding access to a broad range of reproductive healthcare services, and eliminating barriers to disability claims for those who have experienced military sexual trauma. For immediate support, contact their 24/7 Emergency Hotline at 1-888-669-0907 or visit their resource portal for more information.
