Prepare For VA’s Secure Sign-In Changes

We’re moving to a simpler, more modern sign-in experience with 2 secure sign-in account options (Login.gov and ID.me). After January 31, 2025, you won’t be able to sign in to VA websites or apps with a My HealtheVet user ID and password. After September 30, 2025, you won’t be able to sign in with a DS Logon username and password.

We encourage you to create a Login.gov or ID.me account now. If you already have one of these accounts but haven’t yet used it, start now so you have time to get used to it before the change. With Login.gov or ID.me, you’ll have access to all the same information and services you use today.

Veteran and Spouse Transitional Assistance Grant Program

Every year, approximately 200,000 men and women leave the U.S. military service and return to life as civilians, a process known as the military-to-civilian transition. Many — but not all — of these former service members successfully make the transition independently. To further ease the transition process, and in response to P.L. 116–315 § 4304, VA will issue grants to eligible organizations that provide transition services to former members of the U.S. Armed Forces who are separated, retired, or discharged and their spouses.
