"What You Should Know About the VA Health Care System"

The New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Foundation invites all veterans to a free information seminar Saturday, April 14, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The seminar will be held in conjunction with the Veterans Administration Health Care Community Outreach Team. All veterans and families are encouraged to attend. Veterans seeking information on how to enroll in the VA health care system should bring a copy of their DD214 separation papers to the seminar.

A 45-minute presentation regarding health care eligibility and benefits will be followed by a Q & A session with Veterans Administration staff. Information about non-health related benefits including home loans, life insurance, filing disability claims, and death and burial benefits will be covered. The VA mobile health unit will also be on site for brief health care assessments and patient education. Attendees are asked to register by calling 732-335-0033, ext. 100.

Admission is free for veterans and active-duty military personnel. Regular adult admission is $5; student and senior citizen admission is $3, and children under 10 are admitted free. Regular admission applies to all lectures.
