    Our Mission

    To make hard benefit systems easier to understand, navigate, and use — so people can move forward with clarity and confidence. BenefitKarma is a free platform that helps individuals and families discover, understand, and access benefits across VA disability, SSDI, healthcare, housing, food assistance, and more.

    Our Vision

Whether you're a veteran navigating VA disability claims, a family seeking healthcare coverage, or anyone trying to understand the benefits available to you, we're here to make the process clearer.

    Common questions

    Yes. Every tool, calculator, guide, and article on BenefitKarma is free for veterans, their families, and anyone exploring federal or state benefits. There is no membership fee and no required credit card.

    We receive a fee when a member chooses to connect with one of the screened legal or service advertisers we feature, like a VA-accredited attorney for an appeal. Members are never required to use those services, and the educational content stays free either way.

    No. BenefitKarma is an independent benefits education company. We are not affiliated with the VA, the Social Security Administration, or any government agency. We do not provide legal advice. When legal help is the right next step, we connect you with VA-accredited attorneys you can choose to work with.

    Yes. Your information is stored on encrypted, U.S.-based servers and is never sold. We use it only to personalize your experience and, if you choose, to connect you with the help you asked for. You can request deletion of your data at any time from your account settings.

    Our guides and articles are written and reviewed by a team that includes veterans, accredited claims agents, attorneys, and benefits researchers. Each piece is reviewed for accuracy against current VA, SSA, and program guidance before it goes live.

    No. We give you tools, checklists, and clear explanations so you can file confidently on your own through va.gov or ssa.gov. If you want hands-on help, we connect you with VA-accredited attorneys or VSOs who can file on your behalf.
