Veterans with a service-connected disability that limits their ability to work or prevents them from working, may qualify for assistance through the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Veteran Readiness and Employment program. This program – also known as Chapter 31 or VR&E—helps veterans explore employment options and address education or training needs.
In some cases, veterans the VR&E program can also receive a subsistence allowance while they pursue an educational or training program in preparation for a future career. This is paid each month and varies based on whether the school/training is full-time or part-time, the number of dependents, and the type of training.
