It is easy to get the ADVA and VA confused, so here is some helpful information about the two agencies and the difference between your State benefits and Federal benefits.

The Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs (ADVA) is an Alabama Government Agency that assists former members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their dependents in numerous capacities. We provide services that complement those of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Some of the State benefits we offer include the Alabama GI Dependent Scholarship, State Veterans Homes, State Veterans Cemetery in Spanish Fort (which you can preregister for today), and numerous Veterans Service Offices (VSO) around the state.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA / VA) is a Federal Government Agency. The VA comprises a Central Office (VACO), which is located in Washington, DC, and field facilities throughout the nation administered by its three major line organizations: the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), and the National Cemetery Administration (NCA).

Dr. Donschell Scott-Collins and her staff at the Phoenix Clinic at the Birmingham VA Health Care System were so excited to receive the fleece hats and scarves made by the Reads and Deeds Program at the Alabaster Library. Thank you to the Librarians and City Leadership for investing in the next generation of citizens. I see lasting impact through Reads and Deeds.
