Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency Launches Mobile App to Enhance Access to Benefits for Veterans
In an effort to improve accessibility to vital resources for veterans and transitioning service members, the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) has unveiled a new mobile application named MiVeteran. This app is strategically designed to facilitate navigation through the wide range of earned benefits and services available to military veterans in Michigan.
The MiVeteran app serves as a comprehensive digital platform, allowing users quick and efficient access to an array of support services curated specifically for veterans. According to MVAA Director Brian Love, the introduction of this mobile app marks a pivotal enhancement in the agency’s commitment to serving the veteran community. “By putting essential benefits and resources right at their fingertips, we’re making it easier than ever to access the support they’ve earned — anytime, anywhere,” Love noted during the app’s launch event.
The app is equipped with an extensive collection of resources aimed to assist veterans in various aspects of their lives. Key features include the ability to submit requests for DD-214 documents, locate veteran service officers, and explore a comprehensive list of state benefits. Additionally, the application provides information concerning employment opportunities, educational programs, housing assistance, health care services, disability resources, and guides for transitioning service members. It also highlights programs offered by the Michigan National Guard and information regarding Michigan Veterans Homes.
Accessible for free on both Apple’s App Store and Google Play Store, the MiVeteran app exemplifies the MVAA’s dedication to breaking down barriers that veterans often encounter in terms of employment, education, health care, and overall quality of life. The agency aims to make Michigan a welcoming and supportive environment for veterans and their families, positioning the state as an ideal place to settle and thrive.
For those interested in exploring the features of the MiVeteran app or seeking further information about the services provided by the MVAA, resources are readily available on their official website at Michigan.gov/MVAA. Additionally, the agency’s FY24 annual report offers a comprehensive overview of its ongoing initiatives and strategic goals in supporting Michigan’s veteran community.
