The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) have signed a formal Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to assist surviving military and veteran family members. The new agreement formalizes what has been a long-standing, informal working relationship in areas beyond education, including grief counseling, burial benefits and more. Under the MOA, TAPS will connect with surviving families and will begin to identify resources available to them both within the VA and through private sources.
