Resources for Veterans

Veteran-Specific Resources

Many Federal employees and contractors are veterans. In addition to the other identified resources, there are services designed specifically for veterans.

• State Jobs: Apply for Maryland State jobs where veterans and eligible military spouses receive additional hiring credit for all competitive state jobs.
• Employment Supports: Utilize complimentary LinkedIn Premium and talk to a career coach through the Easterseals Veteran Staffing Network. American Job Centers also provide priority of service to veterans and their eligible spouses.
• Health Care: Schedule an initial appointment with a veteran benefits specialist to see if you may be eligible for benefits. They can help you enroll in VA benefits at a local Maryland Department of Veterans and Military Families office or virtually at no cost.
• Financial Support: Apply for emergency financial assistance with the Maryland Veterans Trust Fund if you meet the eligibility criteria, or navigate additional resources through ServingTogether or Supportive Services for Veterans and Families (SSVF).
• Mental Health: Schedule a mental health counseling appointment at the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Easterseals. Both in-person and telehealth appointments are available.
