VetBenefits is a veteran-owned benefits intelligence platform that helps U.S. military veterans instantly discover every federal benefit, state benefit, and retail discount they qualify for — personalized to their VA disability rating, state of residence, and family status.

How much does VetBenefits cost?

VetBenefits offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. After the trial, lifetime access is a one-time payment — no subscriptions, no recurring charges. Launch pricing starts at $19.99.

What benefits does VetBenefits cover?

VetBenefits covers 50+ federal VA benefits (disability compensation, VA home loans, GI Bill, CHAMPVA, Vocational Rehab, and more), state-specific benefits for all 50 states (property tax exemptions, hunting/fishing licenses, vehicle registration discounts), and 378+ military discounts from retailers and service providers.

How does the VA disability rating affect my benefits?

Your VA disability rating (0-100%) determines your monthly compensation amount and eligibility for many benefits. Higher ratings unlock additional programs. Veterans rated 100% Permanent & Total (P&T) receive the highest compensation and qualify for additional state benefits like full property tax exemptions.

Is VetBenefits affiliated with the VA?

No. VetBenefits is an independent, veteran-owned platform built for educational purposes. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Always verify benefit eligibility at VA.gov.
