Introducing VERA Appointment Scheduler
Visitors seeking assistance from the Detroit Regional Office Public Contact Team are encouraged to schedule a virtual or in-person appointment on the Visitor Engagement Reporting Application (VERA).
Please go to VERA-Home (force.com) or use the camera on your smartphone to capture the QR code above to schedule an appointment. You will receive email confirmation of your appointment.
- Due to the limited waiting area, each scheduled visitor is limited to one accompanied guest.
- The Detroit Regional Office adheres to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. Consistent with that guidance, in areas of substantial or high community transmission, agencies must require all Federal employees, onsite contractors, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask inside of Federal buildings. Masks are required to be worn in the Detroit Regional Office as well as its out-based locations.
For your safety and convenience, we continue to offer help online and by phone.
- Veterans and beneficiaries can continue to interact with the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) virtually for accessing benefits information online or when filing a disability claim online. You may also obtain more information on VA benefits and services online at www.va.gov or you may call 800-827-1000 toll-free for assistance.

Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP)
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 participating in VRRAP can receive education and training for high-demand occupations, which is determined by the Commissioner of Labor Statistics. 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.
