Transition Support

Getting you out of the toll-free number jungle!

Have you just returned from deployment? Do you have a service-related injury or healthcare issue? Perhaps you’re about to retire from service and you’re looking for someone to show you how to get back into the swing of civilian life. Getting to know your local Transition Assistance Advisor means you’ll have reliable, professional support whenever you need it, whatever the circumstance.

Our Transition Assistance Advisors are in every State, Territory, and the District to ensure you have a hand to help you receive the benefits you’ve earned as a result of your service in the National Guard.

What Transition Assistance Advisors can do for you.

Transition Assistance Advisors (formerly State Benefits Advisors) work with other Joint Forces Headquarters staff members and Directors of State Family Programs to build a state network of support with Veterans Affairs and community organizations for Service members and their Families to access in their community.

Transition Assistance Advisors (TAAs) will:

  1. Help you get through the red tape. We provide information and assistance to Service members and their Families to help them understand and access Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits as well as services through the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Military Health System.
  2. Meet your Post-Deployment needs. We coordinate with VA, TRICARE, Veteran Service Organizations, and other federal, state and community resources to provide important information and help with obtaining services to meet the needs during the post-deployment period.
  3. See you through changes in your Military Service. We participate in the mobilization and demobilization process to brief and advise National Guard members and their Families about available VA entitlements and available resources in their communities.
  4. Ensure your health and wellbeing are taken care of. We help coordinate activities for the Post-Deployment Health Reassessment event (a screening evaluation for any lingering physical and mental health conditions Service members may experience at 3-6 months post-deployment).
  5. Strive to be your personal problem solver. We research and resolve issues associated with entitlements whenever you or your Family members encounter problems.
  6. Get the right folks involved when you need their help. We advise the Joint Forces Headquarters and coordinate with Family Support Specialists, Employer Support Group to give you the access to entitlements available through Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Labor and other veterans’ entitlement and benefit programs.

 

Why we’re so good at what we do

With more than 90% of TAAs being prior service military and military spouses, we understand how hard it can be to access services, benefits, and entitlements. Many of us have worked through the complicated disability process and receive disability compensation, using our personal experiences as motivation to give you the support you deserve. We care about you and your Family’s wellbeing, which is why we make it our business to build strong partnerships and coalitions with:

  • Department of Defense TRICARE
  • Veterans Affairs and State Directors of Veterans Affairs
  • Veterans Services Organizations
  • State Headquarters groups (Family Support, Chaplains Offices, Department of Labor, and Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR))


Here’s what some of our customers have said about us:

“ . . .Thank you, Ms. Townsend, so much for coming to our drill weekend and talking to our Soldiers. The information you provided greatly increased their knowledge of benefits available to them. It also helped to ease their minds that they were able to talk to someone who had great knowledge and patience. Please keep us in mind whenever new benefits become available.” - NCO, Air Guard

“I want to express my gratitude and sincere appreciation for the outstanding contribution you provided to our National Pro-fessional Development Seminar. The seminar was a complete success; all goals and objectives were met and achieved due to the excellent support given by you. This year's Seminar established a benchmark to follow in future years. This singular event represents the first step in our ongoing commitment toward the growth and advancement of the Warrant Officer Corps of our Guard. Today our Warrant Officer Corps is stronger since the seminar helped to strengthen the spirit of true professional comradeship that we must continue to enrich during these challenging times.” - CW5, Army Guard
