Monroe County Community Services: Veterans Affairs Department
Monthly Report: April 2026 (Reporting Period: February 2026)
Monetary Compensation:
• In the month of February, the Monroe County Veterans Affairs Department (MCVAD) assisted
veteran clients secure$1,166,008.37 in compensation and pension(C&P)awards from the Department
of Veterans Affairs (DVA). This C&P amount includes $319,405.97 in retroactive awards and
$846,602.40 in new awards.
• Officials from FHA,VA, and Ginnie Mae emphasized home loan affordability and smoother mortgage
processes as top priorities for 2026. This includes efforts to reduce red tape in FHA lending, increase
transparency in mortgage-backed securities, and focus on VA loan affordability.
Non-monetary Benefits:
• Intent to File a Claim for Compensation and/or Pension, Survivors Pension, and/or DIC submissions were
made to the Veterans Benefits Administration for 52 veteran clients, and healthcare applications for four
claimants were submitted to the Veterans Health Administration.
• Income verification reports were prepared for four veteran clients, and one burial flag presentation was
conducted.
• MCVAD coordinated the interment of one deceased, unclaimed Veteran at South Florida National Cemetery
with full military honors and proper administration of burial benefits. Additionally, Monroe County received
$978.00 in reimbursement from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for burial expenses related to a
previously interred indigent and unclaimed Veteran.
Other Updates:
• Veterans Service Officers(VSOs)have 635 open cases with the DVA and facilitated over 1,583 veteran client
interactions in Monroe County, along with claims assistance for 38 clients in Miami-Dade/Broward.
• The department prepared,presented, and prosecuted two Virtual Board of Veterans Appeal hearing IAW, The
Veteran Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017, before a Veterans Law Judge. This unique
and invaluable service is offered to Monroe County veteran clients and is unavailable in all 67 counties.
• Staff attended and conducted TAPS presentations for 11 service members at NAS Key West.
Veterans Transportation Program:
• February 2026: The Veterans Transportation Program (VTP) regularly operates three days a week. In
February, VTP transported 11 of 11 scheduled days, booking at 70% of functional capacity, and January
booked at 76% functional capacity. Currently, we have two operating vehicles. MCVAD continues to wait
for a follow up meeting with the Miami VAMC to establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or
Memorandum of Agreement. (MOA)
Veteran Related News, Regulatory Updates and Legislative Information:
• In February, The Department of Veterans Affairs announced it will stop reporting veterans to the FBI's
National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) solely because they are in the VA Fiduciary
Program. This practice, in place for decades, had caused many veterans to lose firearm rights without
judicial determination. VA acknowledges the practice violated the Gun Control Act and constitutional
rights. The agency is working with the FBI to remove past reports tied to this policy.
Community Engagement:
• MCVAD conducted a strategic VA benefits presentation for senior enlisted leaders at USCG Sector Key
West,reinforcing support for transitioning service members and eligible Veterans.
