Calling All Women Who Served in the United States Military!












Calling All Women Who Served in the United States Military! 

Do you know your Veteran status?  Do you have a Veteran ID card?  Should you receive any benefits from VA, like the GI Bill?  Do you know what health care benefits you have earned?   If you do not know the answer to even one of these questions, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has established the Women Veterans Call Center (WVCC) just for you.
The WVCC staff is trained to provide women Veterans, their families, and caregivers about VA services and resources.  We are ready to respond to your concerns.  The call is free, and you can call as often as you like until you have the answers to your questions.  The Call Center is available Monday through Friday 8 AM - 10 PM ET, and on Saturdays from 8 AM - 6:30 PM ET.

We're introducing a new Chat Function.

The WVCC is expanding its outreach to women Veterans with a new online, one-to-one Chat Function.  The new service enables women Veterans to go online and anonymously chat via real-time text messaging with a trained WVCC representative.  The new feature provides women Veterans with another avenue to ask general questions about benefits, eligibility and services specifically for women Veterans.  WVCC chat is available by visiting the Women Veterans Health Care webpage at www.womenshealth.va.gov and clicking the "Chat with the Women Veterans Call Center" icon.  As the Chat Function is anonymous; please do not use personally identifiable information such as social security numbers.  WVCC Chat is available Monday through Friday 8 AM - 10 PM ET, and on Saturdays from 8 AM - 6:30 PM ET.  

She's your guide to VA.

All the representatives at the Women Veterans Call Center are women, and many are Veterans themselves.  In addition to linking women Veterans to information, the Women Veterans Call Center makes direct referrals to Women Veteran Program Managers (WVPM) located at every VA medical center.  The Women Veteran Program Manager helps the woman Veteran coordinate services.
What will happen when I call the WVCC?
·         You will be connected to a trained VA woman staff member.
·         Call center staff will conduct a brief screening to assess your needs.
·         Women Veterans will be provided personalized information regarding health care services, VA benefits and services, and a package of information will be sent to their home.
·         You can call for yourself or for a women Veteran you know.
·         The call is free and confidential.
·         Contact information will be requested so staff may follow-up.

Over 287,000 women Veterans served.

VA has found that women Veterans underutilize VA care, largely due to a lack of knowledge about VA benefits and available services and their eligibility for them.  In response, the Call Center contacts women Veterans to let them know about the services they have earned.  Since April 2013, the WVCC has reached out to over 287,000 women Veterans and has received calls from over 33,000 women Veterans.  The WVCC receives, on average, 80 calls per day and makes on average, 1,000 calls per day.

Image of Women Veterans Call Center Poster

In addition to receiving calls, WVCC reaches out to women Veterans to let them know about the services they have earned, and staff can help connect them to benefits they deserve. 
 What will happen when I receive a call?
·         A trained WVCC staffmember will identify themselves as working for the VA and ask if it is a good time to talk.
·         She will then ask if you are aware of your eligibility for benefits.
·         Women Veterans will be provided with information regarding health care services, VA benefits and services available, and a package of information will be sent to their home
·         Contact information will be requested so staff may follow-up.
