What is eBenefits?

The eBenefits portal is a joint Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) project that allows Service members and Veterans to:

•access and retrieve copies of their official military personal records,

•view VA disability compensation claim status,

•obtain or submit an application for the home loan certificate of eligibility, and

•directly access MyHealtheVet accounts

The President’s Commission on Care for America’s Returning Wounded Warriors

Established by Executive Order 13426 in March 2007 recommended creating a web portal to provide the wounded, injured and ill Service Members and Veterans, their family members, and care providers a single, transparent, access point to online benefits as well as related content and services.

The eBenefits portal provides

• A single point of trusted web access for those Service members and Veterans seeking self-service benefit information and services from VA and DoD;

• Links to VA, DoD, and other Federal and State agency benefits programs;

• Information resources that are adaptive to individuals' circumstances and specific needs.

• You need to be registered in DEERS in order to register for an account.

eBenefits: Levels of Registration

eBenefits gives you access to your own personal information in VA, DoD, and eBenefits systems. To protect your privacy and your confidential information, we must confirm your identity before creating your account. We do this by offering two levels of access: Level 1 and Level 2.•Level 1 account will let you access information you enter into eBenefits yourself (such as Favorite Links, or categories of benefits you're interested in). You can also obtain a home loan certificate of eligibility. •Level 2 account gives you access to your personal information (pending claim information, your VA payment history, etc.) contained in VA’s and DoD’s computer systems; however, but may require more work on your part to obtain.
