New on VA.gov: Time-saving upgrades shaped by Veterans
VA News ·
Spend less time signing in and searching, and more time getting the care and benefits you’ve earned.
You told us signing in, finding information, and checking on claims and forms made VA.gov hard to use. Starting today, we’re making VA.gov simpler.
The upgrades are in direct response to feedback from Veterans, service members, family members, caregivers and survivors. Nearly 90,000 Veteran survey responses from March through May 2026 shaped them, and Veterans tested them before launch.
As a Veteran, I really appreciate how the changes to VA.gov have made it easier to find what I need and get where I need to go. A simpler, clearer online experience means an easier sign-in process, less time navigating the website and more time focusing on what I came to do. To me, that’s what meaningful improvement looks like, making it easier for Veterans to access the services we need without having to figure out how to navigate the site.

When you visit VA.gov, you’ll see a redesigned homepage with a cleaner, easier-to-navigate layout. There is also a prominent sign-in area, improved search, links to popular pages, and clearly organized healthcare and benefits categories that help you find what you need faster. Behind it are assorted upgrades, all built to save you time. You can now:
It’s the same VA.gov you know, at the same web address, with the same account. You don’t need to do anything. Just sign in the way you always do. These upgrades don’t change your benefits, claims, appointments or eligibility.
“Veterans told us what was getting in their way, and we listened. Every one of these upgrades gives Veterans and their families time back: Less time signing in and searching, and more time getting the care and benefits they’ve earned. And for Veterans who prefer to talk with a person, that help isn’t going anywhere.”
— Paul R. Lawrence, Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs
You can still get help through VA medical centers, clinics, regional offices, accredited representatives and Veterans Service Organizations . VA.gov works alongside these services. It doesn’t replace them.
Visit VA.gov and choose the sign-in method that works best for you.
