What’s in it
AI summary The state department of veterans affairs will start keeping track of where military members lived when they joined and when they left the service. Every month, the state will send these lists of addresses to local county veteran commissions. Once a county receives this list, they must mail a letter to the veterans living in their area to tell them about available benefits.1
