In order us to contact a VA Regional Office (VARO) regarding benefits, a veteran must already have an active claim pending at the VARO. If you have not yet filed a claim, you can contact the VA directly for information on how to do so. Expediting claims for benefits will be considered if you are going to be homeless and have a letter from your landlord with intent to evict, or if there is an imminent medical emergency.
My staff does not review requests for recommendations for military service. The DOD and all branches of the military require signed authorization from the service member in order to release information regarding his or her case.
All requests to expedite are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the agency director. The criteria are: severe financial loss to company or individual, extreme emergency situation, humanitarian situation, nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States, Department of Defense national interest situation, USCIS error, or compelling interest of USCIS. The reason to expedite must be documented and verifiable. Cases that are in security check may take a while to clear. Cases that are in security check cannot be expedited. USCIS can be reached at 1-800-375-5283.
If you are having difficulties with your mortgage and would like more information about current government housing programs, we highly suggest you call and speak with a HUD Housing Counselor. Foreclosure prevention counseling and homeless counseling services are available free of charge through this program. Housing counseling agencies participating in HUD's Housing Counseling Program are not permitted to charge consumers for these specific housing counseling services. Counseling recipients should not pay for these services. However, housing counseling agencies are permitted to charge reasonable and customary fees for other forms of housing counseling and education services, including pre-purchase, reverse mortgage, rental, and non-delinquency post-purchase counseling services, provided certain conditions are met. The HUD housing counselor interactive voice response system can be reached at 1-800-569-4287. Free telephone counseling is available 24/7 from the national HOPE hotline at 1-888-995-4673.
