Veteran Readiness and Employment (Chapter 31)
If you have a service-connected disability that limits your ability to work or prevents you from working, Veteran Readiness and Employment (formerly called Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment) can help. This program—also known as Chapter 31 or VR&E—helps you explore employment options and address education or training needs. In some cases, your family members may also qualify for certain benefits.
The WV Department of Veterans Assistance is a cabinet-level agency dedicated to providing services and benefits assistance to veterans and their qualifying family members. The department operates several service offices throughout the state.
