Helping Veterans Navigate the Web

U.S. Department of Labor News Release

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has revised its e-VETS Advisor website — http://www.dol.gov/elaws/evets.htm — an interactive, online tool to assist Veterans, Service Members and their families and caregivers to quickly and easily find information on a variety of topics, including education, job training and employment.

In addition, the website provides information on benefits and compensation; family and caregiver support; health; housing; homeless assistance; and transportation and travel. It uses the National Resource Directory (NRD), an index of services and resources, managed by the Departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs. The updated e-VETS Advisor offers access to more than 11,000 services and resources at the national, state and local levels.

The e-VETS Advisor is one of a series of elaws (Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses). Advisors developed by DOL to help employers and employees understand federal employment laws. To access it, visit the elaws Web site. To learn more about DOL’s efforts to assist Veterans and transitioning Service Members, visit the VETS Web site.
