In honor of National Military Appreciation Month, Illinois workNet would like to thank all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. We appreciate your sacrifice to help protect us at home and abroad. Illinois, through the collaboration of networked partnerships, has many resources available to former and current Military Services Members (Active, Guard, and Reserve) as well as Military Spouses.
The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) has Veterans' Service Officers who are qualified benefits specialists trained to help veterans and their family with accurate and current information on the entire range of issues associated with veterans' benefits and entitlements.
