ND Veterans Affairs Resources

The ND VA developed a Women Veteran’s Registry card as a tool to register woman veterans into our data base. Some ideas that are in development are; conferences, membership to the association, newsletters, and committees.  We would benefit from your input into the possibilities.  Please take a few minutes to print, complete, and mail this card.

Center for Women Veterans

The role of the VA Center for Women Veterans is to monitor and coordinate VA’s administration of health care and benefits services, and programs for women Veterans.  Serve as an advocate for a cultural transformation (both within VA and in the general public) in recognizing the service and contributions of women Veterans and women in the military.  And to raise awareness of the responsibility to treat women Veterans with dignity and respect.

Women Veterans Call Center

Calling all women who served in the United States Military.  Do you know your Veteran status?  Do you have a Veteran ID card?  Do you receive any benefits from the VA, like the GI Bill?  Do you receive health care benefits from VA?  If you do not know the answers to these questions Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) established a call center just for you.

The Women Veterans Call Center (WVCC) answers questions and responds to concerns from women Veterans, their families, and caregivers across the nation about VA services and resources.  The call is free, and you can call as often as you like until you have the answers to your questions.  The hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET.
