The National Resource Directory ( is a federal government website that connects wounded warriors, service members, veterans, families and caregivers to thousands of services and programs at the national, state and local levels to support them during recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration. Visitors to the site can find information on topics such as veterans benefits, health care, educational opportunities, homeless assistance, employment and more. The directory is a tri-agency initiative among the Department of Defense, Dept. of Labor, and Veteran Affairs. To find out more information go to their website, The Decision Ready Claims Program

3 The Decision Ready Claim (DRC) Program is the fastest way to get your VA claim processed. With the DRC Program, you can get a decision within 30 days after you submit your claim when you work with an accredited Veterans Service Organization (VSO) or other accredited representative. Your VSO will help you gather and submit all relevant records and evidence, including federal and medical records and Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs), and will request your claim exam, so your claim is ready for VA to make a decision when you submit it. Currently the DRC Program is available for the following types of compensation claims: Direct Service Connection Claims, Presumptive Service Connection Claims, Secondary Service Connection Claims, Increased Disability claims, Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) Claims, and Pre-Discharge Claims. For more information go to or call In Other Veteran Related News Tips for Veterans Who Want To Be Franchise Owners By Kimber Green, U.S Veterans Magazine According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), roughly a quarter of all veterans are interested in starting their own business. Franchises are so popular that the International Franchise Association reported that 1 of every 7 franchises in America is owned by a veteran. Hundreds of companies offer incentives for veterans to become a franchise owner. Here are a few things to consider if you are interested in owning one. Is buying into a franchise a good decision for my family? Are you passionate about the industry you are considering? Is there room in the market for this business? Is this the right

4 time in your life to open a business? If you and your family decide this is the right move, then you need to look into how to choose the right franchise. Start your research with the SBA, they have a veteran business outreach center (VBOC) program. They offer services to help veterans with business training, counseling and referrals. This includes workshops on business development and they have counselors available to assist you. Contact SBA for further information. How to avoid Scholarship Scams By Robert Barrows, U.S. Veterans Magazine Unfortunately, many families have fallen victim to scholarship scammers who are stealing millions of dollars from families every year. Your goal is to get money for college, and it should not cost you anything to apply for scholarships. The good news is that there are red flags to look out for to avoid becoming the victim of a scam. A general rule - if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Learn the signs to protect yourself against being defrauded and find scholarships that are right for you. Here are 3 tips to avoid scams: 1. Be cautious of fees: Applying for scholarships should not cost money. Be cautious of scholarships with application fees and never pay to get scholarship information.

5 2. Protect your data: Never reveal financial information such as your social security number, credit card numbers, checking information or bank account numbers to apply for scholarships. Scholarship scammers could use this information to commit identity theft. 3. Get a second opinion: If you are unsure, talk with trusted organizations about which websites they recommend. School counselors, librarians, financial aid offices, and local community organizations have knowledge and tools to guide you in the right direction. To learn more, go to the Tuition Funding Sources website ( Job Search Advice Resources for Pursuing Federal Employment Article taken from the Corporate Grey Newsletter There are several federal resources available to help you find government jobs. Most federal agencies post their jobs to USAJobs.gov. In addition, each federal agency has individuals responsible for promoting veterans recruitment, employment, training & development, and retention within their respective agency. These individuals can be found on the FedsHireVets website. Another important resource for finding government employment is your network of friends and colleagues who are

6 working in the public sector. Remember the power of the informational interview to inquire about opportunities in the career you are targeting. Search for and join groups on LinkedIn to network for federal government job leads. Put Social Media to Work for Your Job Search Article taken from the Corporate Grey Newsletter Employee referrals carry a lot of weight in a company s hiring process. In fact, it was listed as one of the top sources for quality candidates by recruiters. Referrals are one way that social media can help with your job search, by connecting you to individuals who can refer you to the right person at their company. Use Linkedin.com, for example, to cultivate a professional image on-line. Your profile should show your expertise by sharing articles and joining on-line discussions, which build your network of relevant networking partners. By getting noticed on LinkedIn you will be on the radar of people who know people. Remember, you are not connecting to ask for a job, but rather to get information about their company and possible contacts. You are doing company research and also creating relations that may lead to future job opportunities. An added bonus is that increasing your presence and network will also increase your odds of getting noticed by recruiters. They are also using social media to find candidates for the positions they are trying to fill. Significant days and observances for the United States Armed Forces in July.
