Active military personnel, their families, and veterans are unfortunately often targeted by scam artists and unscrupulous businesses who try to take advantage of the military consumers. Servicemembers are targeted for many reasons including their stable income, inexperience in financial matters, and the desire to solve their own problems, some out of fear that the problems may jeopardize their security clearance and careers.
Attorneys general work to protect and assist our nation’s veterans by:
- Pursuing those who exploit veterans, servicemembers, and their families.
- Assisting veterans in areas of re-employment and other legal issues related to deployments and general military service.
- Working to ensure that veteran health benefits are protected.
In each of these areas, the state and territory attorneys general advocate to ensure that current military members and veterans, as well as their families, receive the respect and benefits which they have earned through their service to our country.

NAAG Urges U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to Reevaluate Changes to Claims Processing Policy
We urge the VA to postpone any change to this long-standing policy until the VA, VSOs and veterans can have more thorough discussions regarding the VA’s reasons for the change, the implications it will have on VSOs and veterans, and whether there are alternative solutions that do not call for complete elimination of this critical quality review.
