PSA for all MD-01 residents utilizing or applying for VA benefits:
As of September 27, 2017, the Department of Veterans Affairs will no longer operate the VONAPP website. Going forward, service members and their family members will make all online submissions through VA's Vets.Gov and eBenefits websites. Many applications for benefits will still be able to be filed in person, through VSOs, and by mail.
If you have questions about your VA benefits, please call my Salisbury office at 443-944-8624.
