Tennessee State Veteran Benefits

The Tennessee Department of Veterans Services (TDVS) operates 12 State Veterans Services Offices, five Tennessee State Veterans Cemeteries, serves as liaison for four Tennessee State Veterans Homes, assists with active duty casualties and hosts outreach events across the state to raise awareness and assist Veterans as well as their families.

Veterans Service Officers at the State Veterans Services Offices help Veterans and their families to file claims for federal benefits. TDVS also trains County Service Officers to effectively and efficiently file claims for Veterans across the state.
