A Family Support Program will be established to provide services for veterans with disabilities (70% or more), their children (under 18), and other family members, including educational, mental health, and career readiness assistance.
The VA will conduct regular surveys of disabled veterans and their families to better understand their needs and tailor the support offered.
Information on available supportive services for service members and their families will be included in the Department of Defense's Transition Assistance Program.
