Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill hosted the second session of her Fall 2025 Webinar Series, focusing on Veterans Benefits and Health Care on September 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. The session provided veterans and their families with essential guidance on navigating the benefits available through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the New Jersey VA Health Care system.
Panelists from the Department of Veterans Affairs presented in-depth information about key programs, including Veterans Disability Compensation and Veterans Readiness and Employment (formerly Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment). The session also covered the full range of healthcare benefits available to veterans in New Jersey, along with practical instructions for applying to these programs. Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A, ensuring personalized guidance from VA experts.
This session followed the first installment of the Fall 2025 Webinar Series, held on August 26, 2025, which focused on fraud prevention and scams targeting seniors and vulnerable populations. The series emphasizes education and outreach, providing constituents with reliable, actionable information in an accessible online format. Registration for the webinars was required and could be completed through Congresswoman Sherrill’s official website.
Representative Sherrill has a long-standing commitment to veterans’ issues. She has co-sponsored legislation to protect health and retirement benefits for service members and secured amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that expanded TRICARE coverage and increased access to apprenticeships for transitioning service members. The Fall 2025 webinar likely also addressed updates on the PACT Act, toxic exposure screenings, VA enrollment procedures, and other essential veterans’ programs.
By offering these virtual educational opportunities, Congresswoman Sherrill continues to advance awareness of critical veterans’ benefits and healthcare resources, ensuring that service members, veterans, and their families in New Jersey have access to the support and services they deserve.
