The Missouri Veterans Commission reminds Missourians that the deadline for filling out and mailing the pension Eligibility Verification Report (EVR) is March 1, 2012.
Who should fill out an EVR?
- Veterans with a non-service connected pension
- A veterans widow or widower who receives a pension from the VA
- Failing to fill out and mail in the EVR will lead to suspension of your pension.
Not all recipients of VA non-service connected pension benefits will receive an EVR.

EVRs are normally mailed out near the end of December and into January and have a 60 day return due date, usually March 1.
The EVR is a colored form containing pre-printed information covering important dating periods, Social Security Numbers, claim number and the claimant’s name and address.
What if I didn't receive an EVR?
If you believe you should have received an EVR or letter from the VA pertaining to your benefits and have not, please contact the Veterans Service Officer (VSO) who assisted you in obtaining benefits.
If you do not have a current VSO, please go online to find the nearest Veterans Service Officer.
Or you may call 1-866-VET-INFO, and your inquiry will be emailed to the VSO in your area who will contact you.
