The NYS Veterans Official NY App, developed by the New York State Office of Information Technology Services, serves as a comprehensive resource for New York Veterans and their families. It advocates for veterans to ensure they receive the benefits they are entitled to under the law. The app offers assistance with various benefits, including VA compensation, pensions, burial allowances, education, and more.

Users can access information about claim development, application processes, and appeals to VA decisions through the app. Additionally, a toll-free hotline, 1-888-VETS-NYS), is provided for easy referral to the nearest Veterans Benefits Advisor Office. The app aims to simplify the process of accessing and understanding the benefits and services available to New York veterans.
