Some states offer special programs for Veterans and Active Duty members who have been on Active Duty during conflict regardless of being deployed over seas. It is worth checking out state programs through state government websites.
In Mass. Veterans and Active Duty Service Members may qualify for what is called the "Welcome Home Bonus." Check it out at www.mass.gov/veterans do a search on "bonuses" in the search window (top right corner). There are phone numbers on the site you can call if you're having trouble with the site.
Some states offer educational and vocational programs to varying degrees.
There is one thing that nearly every single agency has in common - they won't come looking for individual vets to offer their help - these agencies don't have the budget for massive advertising, and some gov't agencies are notoriously lazy (but that could be called common knowledge). Vets have to go find them. Some are easier to work with than others.
www.Firstgov.gov is a decent site to check out for explanations of various government programs.
