Lincoln Regional Office Outreach Hours
Based on Veteran feedback and the vision of MyVA, the Lincoln Regional Office has partnered with Nebraska Western Iowa Health Care System to place employees at Omaha, Lincoln, and Grand Island Medical Centers. The employees will be at each location once a week.
The employees will be on site to answer questions about VA benefits, check the status of pending claims, and complete eBenefits enrollment. They will also be available to assist Veterans in completing applications for benefits.
Visit Office Hours for Lincoln Regional Office Co-location Employees for more information on location and office hours.
On March 11, 2021, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched VRRAP for Veterans who have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Veterans will receive up to 12 months of tuition and fees and a monthly housing allowance based on Post-9/11 GI Bill rates. To learn more about VRRAP and how to apply for the program, Veterans can visit www.va.gov. Veterans can also contact the Education Call Center at 888-442-4551 between 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. EST, Monday-Friday to speak with a VA education representative.
