Law Offices of Hoyt & Bryan Free Virtual Veterans Earned Benefits May 14th 9:30am

For those of you who attend our monthly luncheons, you may have passed on congratulations to CAPT (ret) Randy Bryan, who recently retired from the Navy Reserves last year in the JAG Corps with 31 years of dedicated service. I’ve known Randy since 2004, when I met his Grandma in my Grandma’s nursing home at Lutheran Haven. Randy holds monthly free virtual informative sessions on various topics. When he has a virtual session geared toward our veterans, I recommend that any veteran or family member attend to get the latest information about our veterans’ benefits. Randy does not handle service-connected disability claims. An invitation from Randy:  Are you a military veteran—or do you know someone who is? Many veterans aren’t fully aware of the extensive benefits they’ve earned. Join us on May 14th at 9:30 am for an informative session covering veteran medical benefits, service-connected disability compensation, non-service-connected pension program, and more. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to access the support and resources available to those who’ve served. Randy C. Bryan, J.D., B.C.S.  Board Certified by the Florida Bar in Elder Law and Wills, Trusts and Estates Hoyt & Bryan, LLC  254 Plaza Drive, Oviedo, FL 32765

Veteran Benefits, Benefits / By

At the Florida Veterans Council, our MOAA rep at FDVA, Lt Col Steve Murray announced that the FDVA Benefits Guide for 2022 is now online. See attachment and /or link below. There is a slight delay in printing 150,000 copies due to a lack of glossy paper for the cover. FDVA hopes to have them out for distribution sometime in March. This guide is very informative to our Florida veterans and their families. Thanks to Steve Murray and the FDVA for keeping our veterans well informed each year!

New Florida Veterans’ Benefits Guide 2022

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Thank you for reading the 2022 edition of the Florida Veterans’ Benefits Guide. At the end of World War II, the State of Florida recognized the need to provide services to returning service members and created a division within state government to connect veterans with their earned benefits. To better serve Veterans and their families, Florida voters in 1988 overwhelmingly approved a Constitutional Amendment to create a Cabinet Agency to “Honor Those Who Served U.S.” Today, the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs is the premier point of entry for Florida Veterans to access earned services, benefits and support.

FDVA operates a network of seven State Veterans’ Homes and
provides statewide outreach to connect Veterans, their families and
survivors with earned services, benefits and support. Two additional
state veterans’ homes will open in the first half of 2022.


Our Veterans’ Claims Examiners, who are often the first-line contact
with our state’s Veterans, can be reached by calling (727) 319-7440.
You may also contact them via e-mail at VSO@fdva.state.fl.us. You’ll
also find our claims examiners in all VA Medical Centers and most VA
Outpatient Clinics. All outreach services are free to the Veteran.

We encourage you to learn more about your earned services, benefits
and support. Follow us online at www.FloridaVets.org and on our
many social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Working together to ensure a positive future for Florida Veterans
and their families, we’ll ensure the Sunshine State continues to be
the most Veteran sought after state in the nation. We are honored to
serve you.

James S. “Hammer” Hartsell
Executive Director
Florida Department of Veterans’ Affair
