    Texas Veterans Commission hosts "Beating the VA Backlog" events in Arlington & Austin





    On
    Saturday, January 26, the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) is hosting a
    “Beating the VA Backlog” event in Arlington in order to provide direct,
    one-on-one assistance to Texas Veterans with disability claims currently
    pending with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This event
    will take place at the Sheraton Arlington Hotel, 1500 Convention Center
    Drive, on January 26, 2013, from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.






    "Our
    Veterans sacrifice everything in service to their country, and they
    deserve more than long lines and bureaucratic red tape when it comes to
    receiving their benefits," said Gov. Rick Perry. "While the federal
    government drags its feet, Texas will act. I am proud to have worked
    with Lieutenant Governor Dewhurst and Speaker Straus to ensure that
    Texas, through the State Strike Force Teams, works to get our Veterans
    the timely assistance they deserve.”






    Members
    from the TVC State Strike Force Teams, as well as TVC Claims
    Counselors, will be on hand to provide direct and specific assistance to
    Veterans, family members, and survivors, including:




    • Checking the status of pending claims

    • Identifying all additional development required for claims processing

    • Collecting evidence for cases identified as missing documentation

    "Our
    fine Veterans did not wait when asked to serve our country, and they
    shouldn't be asked to wait for their country to return the favor,” said
    Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. “I commend the Texas Veterans Commission and
    the 'State Strike Force Team' for taking swift action to help our
    Veterans with their claims and ultimately helping reduce the federal
    backlog."






    “Since
    the TVC State Strike Force Teams were authorized by the Governor,
    Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House in July, we have already
    helped more than 10,400 Veterans whose claims were stuck in the VA
    backlog and provided over 2,900 cases to the VA for action,” said Thomas
    Palladino, TVC Executive Director. “This ‘Beating the VA Backlog’ event
    is one of several events that the TVC is holding around the state as we
    try to help Texas Veterans get the benefits they deserve.”






    With
    the backlog of VA disability claims in Texas consisting of over 64,000
    pending claims, Veterans everywhere are experiencing extensive delays in
    receiving the benefits that are owed to them for service to their
    country. Two State Strike Force Teams consisting of eight claims
    counselors each are located at the two VA Regional Offices in Houston
    and Waco. These teams take claims that are backlogged and ensure that
    the claims have all information and evidence necessary for the VA to
    immediately process the claim. Additionally, TVC Fully Developed Claims
    Teams are located at the VA Regional Offices and in TVC offices
    throughout the state in order to improve access and assist Veterans in
    filing fully developed claims, which are processed faster by the VA.






    In
    addition to the event in Arlington, the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC)
    is also hosting a “Beating the VA Backlog” event in Austin. This event
    will take place at the Palmer Events Center, 900 Barton Springs, on
    Wednesday, February 13, 2013, from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.






    These
    events are open to all Veterans, their families, and survivors, and all
    services are free of charge. Preregistering will give staff an
    opportunity to research your claim prior to the events and provide you
    with the ability to select an appointment time. Walk-ins are allowed on a
    first-come, first-served basis as time allows. For details regarding
    these events, contact information and registration, please visit

    At local job fair, Texas Veterans Commission offers unique classes to help Veterans transition to civilian workforce





    During
    the Hiring Red, White and You Job Fair which was hosted in November,
    over 10,000 Veterans and their family members attended the event in
    cities across Texas. The event was made possible through a partnership
    by
    the Texas Workforce Commission, the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), 28
    Workforce Development boards, the Texas Medical Center, Gov. Rick
    Perry, Dr. James H. “Red” Duke Jr., and more than 1,100 employers
    . In Waco alone, 224 Veterans and family members attended to find employment and new career opportunities.





    In
    addition to the Waco job fair, the TVC Veterans Employment Services
    (VES) staff also organized and conducted job fair prep sessions. The
    staff teamed up with the Workforce Solutions for the Heart of Texas
    Business Services Unit (BSU) to hold the sessions that spanned over two
    weeks leading up the Hiring Red, White and You Job Fair. Almost 30
    Veteran job seekers attended, and out of those attending, 17
    participants were hired as a result of attending the sessions.






    VES
    staff (Richard Chouinard, Brad Gill and Kelly Cameron) teamed with
    Andrea Valero of BSU to work with local employers and set up sessions
    with alternative approaches so that the Veterans could find something
    that will work with their own personality and style.






    In
    the session, "Sergeant's Time Resume Training," local employers
    provided Veterans with information on what employers are looking for in
    resumes. During the session, Levi Burks of AEROTEK and Kathryn Lamb of
    Spherion covered resume styles, transitioning of skills, gaps in
    employment, targeted resumes, and company research.






    For
    individual resumes, the team set up the "Resume Pass and Review"; these
    sessions were held twice for Veterans to get one-on-one assistance with
    their resume, which were reviewed by the VES staff and BSU staff.
    Suggestions were given to attendees on how to enhance their resumes and
    also provide resume workbooks to assist in the development.






    “Dress
    Right, Dress” covered dressing for interviews, job fairs and job
    searches, as well as interviewing techniques for job fairs, elevator
    speeches and targeted interviews. VES and BSU presented guidance on
    appropriate dress, body language, enthusiasm during an interview and job
    search, shaking hands, eye contact, and inappropriate behavior (cell
    phones, gum chewing, email addresses, etc.).






    Each
    of the sessions was followed by a “Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)
    Clinic.” During that session, VES collected completed documents and
    necessary documentation for Veterans to get pre-certified for the
    credit, and Veterans were given information regarding the Vow to Hire
    Heroes Act and the benefits of WOTC and their search for employment
    during the sessions.






    TVC
    VES will be hosting more sessions across the state, and an Employment
    Clinic is planned for Austin in conjuction with the 15th Annual Veterans
    Summit. During the Clinic, Veterans will get one-on-one assistance on
    their resume, tips for translating their military skills, and advice on
    conducting a successful job search in addition to being matched with
    available jobs on WorkInTexas.com.
