Free to the veteran. Always. — Earned · Owed · Delivered
GRID EBA-01 // SITREP //

We fight
beside you.

Veterans earned their benefits in uniform. Getting them shouldn't be a second war fought alone. EBA prepares and files VA claims — free to the veteran, every time — funded by employers and donors, delivered by accredited representatives. Deeds, not words.

01 · The rule
The veteran never pays. Not a fee, not a percentage, not ever — on any rail.
02 · The standard
Claims prepared and filed only by individuals authorized under 38 U.S.C. §§ 5901–5905.
03 · The fuel
Employers sponsor their veteran workforce; donors fund the pools no employer covers.
04 · The proof
Every number on this site is a delivery, not a promise. We publish outcomes, never identities.
05 · The promise
No guaranteed outcomes — anyone who guarantees a rating is selling something. What we guarantee is the arsenal: accredited expertise, purpose-built technology, and relentless effort.

Grid 02 // what we do — six lines of effort, six fighting traditions

Operations

U.S. Army leads // the ground campaign — six branches, one fight

Every service fights differently. So does every part of a claim. We built our lines of effort the way the joint force fights — each named for the branch whose doctrine it borrows.

U.S. Army · the ground campaign

Claims preparation & filing

The main effort. Accredited representatives build your claim end-to-end — records, statements, forms — and file it right the first time. Initial claims are free from everyone by law; with us, everything is free.

Doctrine: close with the objective · hold the ground
U.S. Marine Corps · first to fight

Rapid intake & 72-hour triage

Housing-unstable, justice-involved, deadline-pressed — urgent cases hit the beach first. Intent to file locked within 72 hours to freeze your effective date, full claim built behind it.

Doctrine: speed, violence of action, first ashore
U.S. Navy · sustained power projection

The employer sponsorship fleet

Blue-water logistics for benefits: employers sponsor claims help for their veteran workforce at a flat per-head rate, and the surplus carries claims for veterans no employer covers.

Doctrine: presence, sea lines of supply, staying power
U.S. Air Force · precision effects

Evidence & ratings precision

Targeting for paperwork: medical evidence development, nexus letters, presumptive mapping, C&P exam preparation. One pass, on target, minimum collateral delay.

Doctrine: air superiority · one sortie, one effect
U.S. Space Force · domain awareness

Benefits intelligence & education

You can't claim what you can't see. Unit and employer briefings, PACT Act presumptive alerts, plain-language guides — persistent overwatch of the whole benefits domain.

Doctrine: see everything · warn early
U.S. Coast Guard · search and rescue

Survivors & crisis navigation

When the veteran is gone or the water is rising: DIC for surviving spouses, survivors pension, aid & attendance — we go out so families don't drift alone. Semper Paratus.

Doctrine: you have to go out
Extended operations // the full arsenal — earned benefits don't stop at disability claims
A

Appeals — every lane

Unfavorable decision? Accredited representatives run the AMA lanes — Supplemental Claims with new evidence, Higher-Level Review, and Board appeals — with the one-year continuous-pursuit clock protected.

Delivered by · accredited representatives
B

CRSC — combat-related special compensation

Tax-free pay retirees leave on the table because the application goes to your service branch, not VA. We build and file the CRSC package and assemble the combat-linkage evidence.

Delivered by · EBA claim teams
C

Caregiver program — PCAFC

Eligibility screening, application, and appeals for VA’s Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers — stipends, CHAMPVA, respite — for the families carrying the load.

Delivered by · EBA claim teams
D

GI Bill & VR&E navigation

Post-9/11 and Montgomery entitlements, transfer to spouse and kids, Yellow Ribbon, and Chapter 31 Veteran Readiness & Employment — mapped before you enroll, not after the deadline.

Delivered by · education briefings
E

Money recovery — loans & taxes

Education on the write-offs veterans never hear about: Total & Permanent Disability student-loan discharge, PSLF credit for service, disability-severance tax refunds, and state property-tax exemptions for disabled veterans.

Delivered by · education (with referrals to tax professionals)
F

Defense Base Act — contractor claims

Injured working overseas as a contractor? DBA claims run through the Department of Labor on separate rules. We educate, organize your record, and connect you to DBA-specialized attorneys — whose fees the insurance carrier pays, never you.

Delivered by · education & warm referral
G

Records retrieval & corrections

DD-214 copies, full personnel and medical files (SF-180 / milConnect), award verification — plus corrections through the records boards when names, dates, or awards are wrong.

Delivered by · EBA claim teams
H

Post-separation logistics

The clocks that expire quietly: final-move entitlements, SGLI-to-VGLI conversion windows, TRICARE and dental elections, state benefit registrations — a deadline map for the first year out.

Delivered by · education briefings
I

Discharge upgrades & characterization

The wrong characterization locks the door on everything else. We build Discharge Review Board (DD-293, 15-year window) and Board for Correction (DD-149) cases — arguing the liberal-consideration rules for PTSD, TBI, and MST-connected discharges the way the memos intend. No outcome promised; every tool employed.

Delivered by · EBA claim teams (counsel referral on complex cases)
J

Reproductive health & fertility claims

Service-connected infertility is real, rated, and almost never briefed. We handle it with clinical privacy: service connection, the special monthly compensation (SMC-K) thousands earn and never claim, and care eligibility including IVF for service-connected cases — for veterans, and for Guard and Reserve members still serving.

Delivered by · accredited representatives · confidential intake
Grid 03 // who we serve — every pool, one rule

Missions

U.S. Marine Corps // every clime and place — six populations, no gaps

Six veteran populations, each reached where they actually are — and on every one of them, the same standing order: the veteran is never the payer.

01

Working veterans & drilling Guard / Reserve

Reached through their employers — HR, EAP programs, veteran ERGs, unions and PEOs. Your job sponsors your claim; you keep every dollar of the award.

Funded by · employer sponsorships
02

Transitioning service members (BDD window)

Claims filed 180–90 days before separation through TAP partnerships and partner organizations — walk out the gate with the claim already moving.

Funded by · corporate transition sponsors & grants
03

Retirees

Retiree Appreciation Days, MOAA/TREA/FRA chapters, VFW and Legion posts. PACT Act presumptives are massively under-claimed in this generation — we bring the update to the post.

Funded by · philanthropy & fund-a-claim donors
04

Homeless & unstably housed veterans

Marine-speed triage through shelters, SSVF partners and street outreach — a rated claim is often the single fastest path to stable income and housing.

Funded by · donors & foundations
05

Survivors, spouses & student veterans

TAPS and Gold Star networks; university veteran resource centers and SVA chapters. DIC and survivor claims are large, unserved, and ours to carry.

Funded by · foundations, universities & memorial funds
06

Justice-involved & reentry veterans

Benefits reinstated at release (38 C.F.R. 3.665) through VJO and reentry programs — a claim waiting at the gate changes the first ninety days outside.

Funded by · grants & reentry partners

U.S. Coast Guard // search and rescue — no case left adrift

Each card is one veteran's claim, staged and ready — identity protected, cost fully loaded at $660 per claim. Fund one as a donor, or sponsor one as an employer and we'll come talk about covering your whole veteran workforce.

Employers

U.S. Navy // the sponsorship fleet — sustained power projection

Your veterans earned benefits they're not using. You sponsor the help at a per-seat annual rate set by two things: the tier you choose, and the size of your veteran workforce. $0 is ever charged to your employee — on any tier, at any size. The award is theirs alone.

Step 1 · Choose a tier — what each includes

Company · 50–249 · named EBA point of contact, one Florida on-site day per year$325$475$725

Enterprise · 1,000+ · custom contract: annual platform fee, SLAs, regional-hub delivery nationwide$250$400Custom

Worked example: 100 veteran employees on Sustainer → 100 × $475 = $47,500 / year — full-arsenal coverage for your people, and the surplus funds roughly 38 free claims for veterans with no employer behind them. Ten-seat minimum on every tier and band.

Under ten veterans · the alliance channel

Most American employers of veterans are small — a shop with three, a firm with six. They are not too small to matter; they are too small to be their own account. So they come in together: a chamber of commerce, trade association, union, or PEO signs one agreement covering the veteran employees of every member business. One contract, one invoice, one shared briefing calendar — and hundreds of small employers get the same arsenal a national bank buys.

How the channel worksWho it's for
Pooled seat count. Member businesses' veteran employees are counted together, so the group prices at a Company or Battalion band rate no single member could reach alone.Chambers of commerce · industry and trade associations
One administrator, no member paperwork. The aggregator holds the agreement and the invoice; member businesses simply tell their veterans the benefit exists.PEOs · staffing and employer-services firms
Shared briefing calendar. Regional and virtual sessions serve all members at once — the same benefits education, delivered at group scale.Unions · veteran-owned business networks
Aggregate impact reporting for the group — outcomes across the membership, never a single veteran's identity, to any member or to the aggregator.Franchise groups · regional employer coalitions

Not part of a group yet? Two doors stay open: ask your chamber or association to contact us — introductions are welcome and we will do the briefing — or fund a single claim directly on the mission board, no agreement required.

How a pledge works

Send the pledge form — it commits you to nothing. Our development team returns a one-page sponsorship agreement at your tier and band: aggregate-only reporting, no PII, service never conditioned on payment status. You launch it to your veterans as a benefit; we handle everything else, and every quarter you see the outcomes your sponsorship bought.
