Reference guide to VA benefits for veterans and families: disability compensation, healthcare eligibility, GI Bill, home loans, pension, burial, and caregiver programs. Returns built-in reference data with official links, not live VA records or a personal eligibility decision.
What this actor returns. Built-in reference data that ships with the actor: program descriptions, eligibility summaries, phone numbers, and official links. It is a curated snapshot that is not updated automatically. It does not connect to VA.gov or any VA system. Demo Mode on returns a labeled sample. Demo Mode off returns the same built-in reference data, plus a pointer to the official source. Every output row carries dataSource: "built-in reference data" and isLiveData: false. Before relying on any detail, confirm it with the official source: VA.gov or 1-800-827-1000.
Quick Start
Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)
Run a reference lookup (same built-in data, with the official-source pointer)

Pricing
Because this actor returns built-in reference data, it does not charge any per-lookup event, in either mode. The per-task events listed on the Pricing tab are never charged. You pay only the standard Actor start fee and the per-result fee shown on the Pricing tab.
Troubleshooting
No results or empty dataset
Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:
- Invalid input format (check the examples above)
- The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track
How do I test without an API key?
Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns a labeled sample so you can check the output format. No API key is ever needed, because the actor makes no live API calls.
