VA Contingency Planning during Government Shutdown

VA benefits will continue to be processed and delivered, including compensation, pension, education, and housing benefits.

More information can be found on the va.gov website: https://department.va.gov/contingency-planning/

Please note that while the process is occurring, VA payments and education benefits being processed may be delayed at this time.

UMass Amherst is committed to offering quality services and support programs for student veterans, active military, and their families.

The Student Veterans Resource Center (SVRC) hosts a variety of programming throughout the year such as a welcome orientation specific to Veterans and cross cultural events. Veteran staff members are available during regular office hours if you have questions. You'll find the SVRC is a comfortable place to study, relax, meet other student veterans, learn about and access resources, or just have a cup of coffee!
