Illinois Veterans Affairs
The mission of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs is to assist veterans and their dependents and survivors in obtaining the benefits they are entitled to under the laws of the United States, and the State of Illinois or any other governmental agency, through its forty-three Veterans' Services Offices located statewide; to evaluate and approve veterans' education and training programs available at colleges, universities and vocational training centers in Illinois, to provide skilled nursing and domiciliary care for eligible veterans; and administer State grants and benefits to eligible Illinois veterans.
Veterans Healthcare
Veterans Care Program is a new program designed to provide comprehensive, affordable healthcare to Illinois' uninsured veterans. This year, we will launch a pilot program for Veterans Care Program that will cover those veterans who have the least access to reliable healthcare. These are the veterans who cannot currently access Veteran Health Administration's benefits and who meet specific income requirements.
Illinois Department of Military Affairs
The Illinois National Guard, a joint Army and Air Force organization, operates under the Illinois Department of Military Affairs and is commanded by the Adjutant General, a two-star general appointed by the Governor.
