Questions
What this site is, who runs it, and what the acronyms mean.
Last updated October 4, 2026
How is Veterans OneSource different from Military OneSource?
They are two different things, run by two different organizations, and the similar names are an accident we would rather explain than leave you guessing about.
Military OneSource is a Department of Defense program at militaryonesource.mil. It offers counseling, tax help, relocation support, and a 24/7 call line, and it is an official government service with eligibility rules attached.
Veterans OneSource™ is this site. It is a private, free directory of events and resources run by Di Nola Consulting, LLC. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Military OneSource, the Department of Defense, or the Department of Veterans Affairs. We list what is happening near you and point you to the organization running it. We cannot process a claim, change a benefit, or access your records.
If you were looking for the Department of Defense program, go to militaryonesource.mil. If you were looking for official VA business, go to va.gov or call 1-800-698-2411.
About This Site
Who is it for?
Service Members, Veterans, military spouses, military families, caregivers, and survivors. You do not need a military ID, a VA rating, or a particular discharge status to use the site. Individual events may have their own eligibility rules, and where they do, the listing says so.
What does it cost?
Nothing. There is no account, no paywall, and no premium tier. Listings are editorial and free, and no organization pays to appear in them — see Sponsorship & Disclosure for how Partners and Sponsors work and what their support does and does not buy.
Who runs it?
Di Nola Consulting, LLC, a Texas company. Reach a person at hello@veteransonesource.app.
Where do the listings come from?
Most are gathered from public calendars run by VA facilities, installations, Veterans Service Organizations, and community groups. The rest are submitted through the submission form. Everything is reviewed before it goes up.
Can I trust the dates and details?
Treat every listing as a starting point. We check listings before publishing and correct what we find wrong, but events get rescheduled and canceled and we do not control the organizations running them. Confirm with the organizer before you travel or pay. If you spot something wrong, tell us.
Is anything here legal, medical, or financial advice?
No. Nothing on this site is legal, medical, financial, or tax advice, and nothing here decides your eligibility for any benefit — only the administering agency can do that. Benefit rules and filing deadlines change. Confirm with VA or a qualified professional before you act. See our Terms of Use.
Using the Site
My city is not on the map. Why?
A hub drops out of the map and the list when it has nothing upcoming, so you are not sent to an empty page. It comes back as soon as it has an event. You can see every active location as plain text in the full location list, which works without JavaScript.
Can I add an event?
Yes, through the submission form. Every submitter hears back either way, with a reason. We do not list paid VA claims-assistance services — accredited representation is free through a Veterans Service Organization, an accredited agent, or an accredited attorney.
How do I stop the emails?
Every email we send carries an unsubscribe link, and it takes effect immediately. You can also write to us and we will do it for you. What we collect and how to have it deleted is in the Privacy Policy.
Something on the site is hard to use with my screen reader or keyboard.
Please tell us. Our Accessibility Statement lists what works today and the gaps we know about, and it explains how to report a barrier. If something is blocking you from information you need now, say so and we will send it to you directly while we fix the page.
What the Acronyms Mean
Plain English wherever we can manage it. These are the ones that still turn up in listings, usually because they are the official name of a program.
| Short | Stands for | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| DEA | Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance | VA education benefit under Chapter 35, for the spouses and children of Veterans who died or are permanently disabled from a service-connected condition. |
| MST | Military Sexual Trauma | VA’s term for sexual assault or repeated threatening harassment experienced during military service. VA provides free related care whether or not you filed a report or have a disability rating. |
| OCONUS | Outside the Continental United States | Anywhere beyond the lower 48. On this site the Overseas (OCONUS) section covers our hubs in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific, plus Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. |
| PCAFC | Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers | VA’s most substantial caregiver program: a stipend, health coverage, respite, and training for an approved Primary Family Caregiver. Eligibility is assessed by VA. |
| PGCSS | Program of General Caregiver Support Services | VA’s broader caregiver program — training, peer support, and respite. No disability-rating threshold, and open to caregivers who do not meet the PCAFC criteria. |
| PSAS | Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service | The VA medical center service that handles prosthetic and orthopedic devices, and the annual clothing allowance claim that goes with them. |
| VSO | Veterans Service Organization | An accredited organization that helps Veterans file claims at no charge, such as the American Legion, VFW, or DAV. Their help is always free. |
One thing worth flagging, because it trips people up: in event listings MST also appears as a time zone, Mountain Standard Time. Context tells you which is meant — a start time is the clock, anything about care or counseling is not.
