AUGUSTA, Maine -- (Business Wire)
The Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services announced the launch of its
completely redesigned website available at www.maine.gov/veterans.
The website was developed by the Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services in
partnership with InforME, the state’s e-government portal provider, and
serves as a centralized location for veterans and their family members
to receive information about resources and services available.
“The website is designed to meet the needs of our state’s nearly 130,000
veterans, as well as our Guard and Reserve members, spouses, children,
caregivers, and community advocates,” Governor Paul R. LePage commented.
“The site has many features that have never before existed in Maine and
some that can’t be found anywhere else in the country.”
The website provides a number of unique features to make interaction
with the Bureau easy, fast, and usable. The following features were
deployed as part of the launch:
-
An interactive map of nearly 400 veteran resources throughout Maine
that are searchable by county and/or service type including employment
resources, housing resources, support services, or recreational
resources.
-
A centralized calendar of statewide events for veterans.
-
A detailed “primer” on the VA claims process that helps veterans
understand how to navigate the federal benefits system and also
provides answers to commonly-asked questions.
-
Navigation based on user group including veterans, family members,
dependents, transitioning service members, and employers.
-
A clean, fresh design that is mobile-friendly and accessible.
In addition to the features on the site itself, the Bureau has set up
social media accounts to encourage communication, questions, and
feedback. Learn more about the Bureau of Veterans’ Services through its Instagram,
Twitter,
and Facebook
accounts.
