Agency: Veterans' and Military Affairs

Function

During the 2013 General Session the Legislature enacted House Bill 395, "Veterans' Affairs Amendments". This legislation expanded the scope of the Department of Veterans' Affairs and renamed it the Department of Veterans' and Military Affairs.

The Department of Veterans' and Military Affairs is the agency responsible for Utah's 174,000 veterans. The primary mission of the agency is to assist former and present members of the United States Armed Forces, both active and reserve, and their families in preparing claims for and securing compensation, health services, education and other federal and state veterans' benefits for service connected conditions.

These services are performed via outreach efforts throughout the state at information and benefit fairs, workshops, and briefings. The Department conducts veterans benefit briefings for returning National Guardsmen and Reservists. The Department is the repository of military discharge documents verifying military service required to receive veteran's benefits. It responds to complaints from individual veterans, veterans' groups, the Governor's office, and state and federal congressional offices.

The Department's mission includes overseeing operation of the Utah State Veterans' Nursing Homes in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Ivins, and Payson. This entails management of a contractual arrangement for the operation of the nursing homes and assuring that all federal and state regulations for the provision of nursing home health care services are met.

The Department also operates and manages the Utah Veterans' Cemetery and Memorial Park in Bluffdale, coordinating burials, arranging services, assisting families in obtaining burial benefits from the VA, and all related services that are provided in the normal operation of a cemetery. The cemetery handles between 300-400 funeral arrangements each year.

The Department is also the State Approving Agency (SAA) responsible for approving and supervising programs in educational institutions and training establishments in Utah, which offer education and training to veterans and other eligible persons under provisions of the Veterans Education Assistance Program. These programs must have SAA approval before veterans and other eligible persons may receive educational benefits (GI Bill) from US Department of Veterans Affairs under the authority of Title 38, U.S. Code and Chapter 1606 Title 10. Annual review and re-certification of schools and curriculum is required to be performed by the SAA.
