Transition Assistance Advisor (TAA)


The purpose of the TAA program is to provide a professional in each state/territory to serve as the statewide point of contact to assist Service Members in accessing Veterans Affairs’ health care services and benefits.  Each TAA also provides assistance in obtaining entitlements through the Military Health System and access to community resources.

The TAA initiative started in May 2005 when the National Guard Bureau (NGB) signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The TAA program is staffed by 60 contract positions and four federal technicians.
