Legislation sponsored by Assemblyman William F. Moen Jr. that would help veterans and their families easily access essential services
passed the New Jersey General Assembly today. Bill A2138, would authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs to develop a user-friendly mobile application that guides veterans and their families to available benefits, programs, and support resources.
The application would provide information related to veterans’ legal rights, medical and insurance issues, education, housing, and the transition from active to civilian life. The guide should mirror the resource guide available on the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs website. Legislation establishing the Department of Veterans Affairs was signed into law in September and became effective on January 9, 2026.
“As we continue to find ways to connect veterans and their families to the resources they need and earned, a mobile app just makes common sense,” said Assemblyman Moen (D-Camden, Gloucester). “This bill is designed to do three important things: honor New Jersey’s veterans, provide fast and simple access to veteran services, and strengthen the support system for these individuals and their families.”
The bill is also sponsored by Assemblymen Joe Danielsen and Robert Karabinchak.
