  • State and Territorial Support for Members of the Military, Veterans And
    State and Territorial Support for Members of the Military, Veterans and Their Families A Report by the National Governors Association February 2015 State and Territorial Support for Members of the Military, Veterans and Their Families Every state and territory in the nation counts current or former members of the U.S. military and the National Guard as part of their population. The nation’s governors recognize the value that these men and women bring home as a result of their service and are implementing programs and investing in resources to support their needs and those of their families, according to a recently updated survey by the National Governors Association (NGA). While the federal government funds and manages numerous programs to support service members and veterans throughout the life cycle of their military careers, many of their needs must be ultimately met at the state and community level. As the following report shows, every state and territory is going well beyond the services provided by the federal government, offering expanded benefits in areas such as tax incentives, life insurance, professional licensure, scholarships, employment services and emergency financial assistance. The NGA survey places these benefits, services and programs into seven categories, with examples below: Support to State Employees. States and territories provide support to their state employees, such as paying the difference between their regular pay and their National Guard pay when they are on active duty. More than half of the states and territories provide health care and life insurance benefits for members of the Guard and their families who are state employees.
