Description:

Jane Babcock joins the VET S.O.S. Network to dive into one of the most critical topics for veterans and their families: understanding VA benefits that are often overlooked.

A U.S. Army veteran and former County Veteran Service Officer, Jane spent more than a decade helping veterans successfully file VA claims and access the benefits they earned. Today, she continues educating the veteran community on how to navigate the VA system and protect their families’ futures.

• Military funeral honors and memorial benefits veterans are entitled to
