All veterans may be eligible for free hospital care at any VA medical facility, a guaranteed loan for the purchase of a home, and veteran's preference in employment. Drug and alcohol treatment programs are available.
Veterans honorably discharged within the last ten years may be eligible for payment while attending school.
Children of veterans who have a service-connected disability may be able to attend a State of California college or university without payment of tuition.
Spouses and children of deceased veterans whose death was service connected are eligible for monthly payment, tax exemption and a college education. Spouses and children of deceased wartime veterans, who have a very limited income, may be eligible for death pension. Life insurance and a burial allowance are payable in some cases.
