A new mobile application is promising to help military veterans connect with state services in New York more easily. The New York State Veterans App, available on the iOS and Android platforms, provides materials about healthcare, housing, employment, education and filing claims for benefits with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The application also has a "near me" feature which shows users resources closest to their location. The program was developed by the state's Division of Veterans' Affairs. Download the App from the Apple App Store, and from the Google Play Store.
