This #WisVetsWednesday, we are highlighting Military Funeral Honors benefits in this new video that explains how families can formally request military funeral honors ceremonies across Wisconsin.
Each ceremony includes folding and presentation of the United States burial flag and the sounding of taps. A military funeral honors ceremony is free to any eligible veteran. Learn more by calling 1-800-WIS-VETS or visiting wisvets.com.
Thank you to Wisconsin’s County and Tribal Veteran Service Offices who help make military funeral honors ceremonies possible across the state. And a special thank you to Jessie Cuff, CVSO, Waupaca County Veterans Service Office and WDVA’s Military Funeral Honors Team for their assistance in creating this new video.

VA Calling for a Pause on VA-Backed Loan Foreclosures

VA has released the official guidance to mortgage servicers calling for a pause on foreclosures on VA-backed loans. VA expects that any foreclosures filed since November 17, 2023 will be put on hold, along with any other in-process or upcoming foreclosures on VA-backed loans. The foreclosure process will be paused for these Veterans through May 31, 2024, giving additional time to these veterans to find solutions to stay in their homes. Veterans who are struggling with VA-backed mortgage payments can visit the VA Housing Assistance website https://www.va.gov/housing-assistance/ or call VA at 877-827-3702 for assistance.
