2 million mobile app downloads giving more Veterans access

 The VA Health and Benefits mobile app is modernizing how Veterans access and manage their health care and benefits information. The app surpassed 2 millionth downloads—a significant milestone in giving Veterans convenient access to their VA health care and benefits via their mobile devices.

This immediate access to vital health and benefits information is resonating strongly with Veterans, particularly those living in remote or rural areas where reaching VA facilities may be challenging. The app quickly became a lifeline for many.

With almost a million monthly active users who send over three hundred thousand secure messages and refill over a quarter of a million prescriptions—each month—the app’s strong adoption and Veteran-centered design have helped earn it a rating of 4.8 on the Apple Store and 4.6 on Google Play, on par with companies like USAA and Uber. Users are saying:

• “This is one of—if not the most—important app on my phone.“
• “This is a huge timesaver.”
• “Veterans can have an active part of engaging with VA at a higher tick… now it’s literally on your couch, and that just gives folks more sense of ownership and accessibility.”

Putting Veterans at the center

As the app’s popularity and use continue to grow, VA’s Office of Information and Technology works with users to identify challenges with VA digital services so VA can incorporate their feedback and new features to improve the experience. These have led to enhancements like:

• The app’s integration of biometric options like fingerprint and facial recognition to streamline access
• A new one-touch feature that generates a Proof of Veteran Status screen when you log in to make it quick, easy, and more private for you to prove Veteran status to retailers and access your Veteran benefits
• Crucial accessibility features for the 22 percent of users who leverage assistive technology—features such as the ability for blinded Veterans to access and read their decision letters through the app

If you’re a Veteran, caregiver or dependent, you can sign up to participate in online feedback sessions related to the mobile app and other VA digital tools to enhance them for all Veterans.

Features and tools Veterans want

• Quick and direct access to the VA Crisis Line for Veterans and their families
• Management of Health Care Appointments
• View Status of Claims and Appeals
• Read benefit decision letters
• Refill and Track VA Prescriptions
• Secure Message with Your VA Health Care Team
• Download Common VA Letters and Documents
• View VA Vaccine Records
• Locate VA Facilities
• One-touch Proof of Veteran Status
• Access Using Biometric Login

Upcoming 2024 features include health care appointment scheduling and check-ins, travel claim submissions and more.

If you’d like to learn more about the app or download it, you can explore the VA Health and Benefits mobile app page.

Maneras seguras de detectar a un estafador

 

Los estafadores dicen y hacen cosas que nos pueden indicar que están mintiendo y que no son quienes fingen ser. Por supuesto que para escuchar o ver esas pistas, tenemos que superar el pánico que nos hacen sentir los estafadores, gracias a las supuestas emergencias que intentan crear. Y como los estafadores son convincentes, eso también puede ser difícil de lograr. Pero las estafas más recientes le están costando a la gente los ahorros de toda una vida, y es por eso que aquí te listamos algunas maneras seguras de detectar al estafador.

Cosas que sólo dicen los estafadores:

• “¡Actúe ya!” Eso es una estafa. Los estafadores te presionan para que no tengas tiempo de pensar. Pero la presión para actuar en el acto siempre es un signo de una estafa. Y también es un motivo para pisar el freno.
• “Sólo diga lo que yo le diga que diga”. Eso es una estafa. En el mismo minuto que alguien te diga que le mientas a otros, incluidos los cajeros del banco o los agentes de inversiones, pisa el freno. Es una estafa.
• “No confíe en nadie. Ellos están involucrados”. Eso es una estafa. Los estafadores quieren aislarte de cualquier persona que pueda frenarte.
• “Haga [esto] o lo arrestarán”. Eso es una estafa. Cualquier amenaza como ésta es una mentira. Nadie necesita que le entregues dinero o información para mantenerte fuera de la cárcel, impedir que te deporten o evitar multas más altas. Son todas estafas.
• “No cuelgue el teléfono”. Esa es una estafa. Si alguien quiere que permanezcas al teléfono mientras tú retiras o transfieres dinero, compras tarjetas de regalo o cualquier otra cosa que te pida que hagas: es un estafador. CUELGA el teléfono.

También te brindamos una lista de las cosas que únicamente los estafadores te dirán que hagas:

• “Mueva su dinero para protegerlo” es una estafa. Nadie que actúe legítimamente te dirá que transfieras o retires dinero de tus cuentas bancarias o de inversión. Pero los estafadores sí lo harán.
• “Retire dinero y compre lingotes de oro” es una estafa. Siempre. En toda ocasión.
• “Retire dinero y entrégueselo a [cualquiera]” es una estafa. Digan lo que digan: es una estafa. No se lo des a un mensajero, no lo entregues en ninguna parte, ni lo envíes. Es una estafa.
• “Vaya a un cajero ATM de Bitcoin” es una estafa. Nadie que actúe legítimamente te insistirá jamás para que obtengas criptomonedas de ninguna clase. Y no hay ninguna razón legítima para que alguien te mande a un cajero ATM de Bitcoin. Es una estafa.
• “Compre tarjetas de regalo” es una estafa. Nunca hay ningún motivo para pagar algo con una tarjeta de regalo. Y una vez que compartes los números de PIN que están al dorso de la tarjeta, tu dinero desaparece.

Si ves o escuchas cualquier versión de estas frases, acabas de detectar a un estafador. En lugar de hacer lo que dicen que hagas, pisa el freno. Cuelga el teléfono. Elimina el email. Deja de intercambiar mensajes de texto. Bloquea su número, haz lo que sea para alejarte del estafador. Y luego, cuéntaselo a alguien de tu confianza y reporta la estafa a la FTC en ReporteFraude.ftc.gov.

Nuestra serie de blogs "Anatomía de una estafa de impostores" explica cómo reconocer, evitar y denunciar a los estafadores que se hacen pasar por un negocio o por el gobierno. Lee más.

• Nunca muevas tu dinero para “protegerlo”. Eso es una estafa
• ¿Qué es un código de verificación y por qué me lo pediría alguien?
• ¿Tu banco o fondo de inversión detendrá una transferencia a un estafador? Probablemente no
• Maneras seguras de detectar a un estafador
• ¿Recibiste una llamada o mensaje de texto sobre una compra sospechosa en Amazon? Es una estafa
• Nuevos estafadores de soporte técnico que quieren quedarse con los ahorros de toda tu vida

Auto dealers must register with the IRS to receive advance payments of the Clean Vehicle Tax Credit

 Auto dealers must register with the IRS to receive advance payments of the Clean Vehicle Tax Credit

To submit time-of-sale reports and receive advance payments of the Clean Vehicle Tax Credit, auto dealers and sellers must register their business with IRS Energy Credits Online. Dealers and sellers must use this tool to submit all time-of-sale reports for vehicles placed in service in 2024 and future years.

How to register
To register or access a previously registered business, dealers and sellers can go to IRS Energy Credits Online. The step-by-step instructions guide them through the process to register, submit time-of-sale reports and enter advance payment information. It may take 15 days or longer for the registration to process.

Once registered, dealers and sellers must use this tool to enter time-of-sale reports and provide the buyer certain required information.  

What happens after registration
When a dealer successfully submits a time-of-sale report, the vehicle is eligible for the credit. A submission is successful when the dealer receives a copy of the report and a confirmation of acceptance by IRS Energy Credits Online. Buyers should use the copy of the report when they file their annual federal tax return.

Find out more about the Clean Vehicle Credits at IRS.gov/cleanvehicle.

TAX DEADLINE APPROACHING

As the season progresses, it is important to understand the IRS due deadlines. Not meeting the deadlines can lead to major difficulties depending on the nature of the violation. Here we list several deadlines you should be aware of for your financial planning.

 

For Personal Tax Returns for the year 2023, the due date is April 15, 2024. This applies to paying IRS dues or any request for an extension. 

For citizens of Maine, due to federal holidays, their due date will be moved to April 17, 2024.

For people in a federally declared disaster area, extensions may vary area to area, so go to the IRS website to find out whether are located in a disaster area and whether the deadline has been pushed.

If the need arises, an extension may be requested for filling your tax return. The extension will push the deadline to the 15th of October.

BEWARE OF MEDICAL EXPENSE MISREPRESENTATION

 

The IRS has reported concerns over the common interpretation regarding the difference between medical expenses and their relation to deductions or reimbursements. Personal expenses for general health and wellness do not count as medical expenses for IRS purposes. However, due to similarities, many individuals and even companies have made the error of conflating the two. 

This is important for personal and organizational purposes. For individuals, they may be tempted to write up certain wellness products as reimbursements. For companies, they may mistakenly belief, or falsely claim, that self-reporting may be all that is needed to make expenses which are not specifically targeted for the purposes of a diagnosis, might be a medical expense under tax law.

When people confuse the definition of medical expense under tax law, they are at risk of either being exploited or becoming disadvantaged. Because of this it is crucial to be well-informed when it comes to any issue regarding the law. The IRS provides many resources from which you can learn about the technicalities of tax code. In addition, we at 200GFS are always open to do a consultation about IRS regulations and obligations. Call us today and we will make sure you know everything you need to know to wring out the most of Spring.

100 years of wisdom: Two World War II Veteran centenarians

 Two World War II Veteran centenarians celebrating their 100th and 101st birthdays have seen drastic changes in the world.

Veterans James W. Smith and Alexander E. Vroblesky have experienced many changes in their lifetime with help from the VA Maryland Health Care System.

“Without Maryland VA, my dad would probably be in a nursing home and he might not still be alive,” said Ginny Vroblesky, his daughter and caregiver. “His primary care doctor has advised and provided the necessary supplies to enable me to take care of him. We were able to get a wheelchair accessible van because of his combat related injuries.”

Audrey Smith, James W. Smith’s daughter, echoes the sentiment. “From the emergency room staff to various specialty personnel and the inpatient hospital staff, all have worked together to focus on the right care plan for his specific needs. Anything he needed, for example to hear better, has been provided. A stair lift is on the way.”

“The focus is to maintain a good quality of life.”

“These oldest patients can have medically complex issues,” said Dr. Saeeduddin Khan, of the GeriPACT team who serves the older patients. “Our goal is to do what is best for the Veterans’ wellbeing. The focus is to maintain a good quality of life as long as possible.”

Reverend Smith (center)

This means not relying on a plethora of medicines that could bring about unwelcomed side effects. “Every medicine has side effects. Sometimes by giving medicines to patients at this age to solve one problem, it creates a series of other problems due to the side effects,” Khan added.

Born in Oxford, North Carolina, the oldest of eight children, Rev. James W. Smith, who turned 100 Nov. 6, 2023, grew up on a farm before being drafted into the Army the first time in 1944, and the second time in 1947. He worked in food service as a dietitian and cook.

He married Mary Alice Royster in 1950, and they had two daughters, Belendia and Audrey. “As a result of my service, I was able to gain access to education, health care and other services that improved my life and that of my family. I’ve been coming to VA since my first discharge in 1946 in North Carolina and later Maryland,” Smith said.

Smith credits all his success to his relationship with God and heeding the call to enter the ministry. He organized the Little Antioch Baptist Church in Baltimore which later become Second Antioch Baptist Church where he served as pastor for 42 years.

“I want people to see the importance of having a good relationship with God first, then your family and friends and those you with work with. Then you will have a happy life because of all your positive relationships.” He preached the day before his 100th birthday.

“She was interested in a fire truck and I was interested in her.”

Alexander E. Vroblesky (pictured above with his family) celebrated his 101st birthday Oct. 19, 2023. Born in Highland, Pennsylvania, he worked as a riveter in Baltimore. He met the young woman who would become his wife, Virginia Walker, when he saw a fire truck followed by a beautiful woman. “She was chasing the fire truck because she came from a small town in West Virginia and had never seen a fire truck before. She was interested in the truck, and I was interested in her.”

Vroblesky enlisted in the Army in 1942 and was accepted into Air Cadet training to become a pilot. He became a member of the 15th Air Force, 485th Bomb Group, 829th Bomb Squadron, stationed in Italy. 

As a co-pilot of a B-24 bombing mission, his plane became disabled, causing the crew to bail out. “Most of us were captured and became POWs.” In Yugoslavia, while the prisoners were out of the train, the Chetniks came down from the hills and fought the Germans. The prisoners took off in all directions. The Bulgarians helped him rejoin the allies, but the prisoners were in tough shape and were taken for medical treatment.

Vroblesky returned to duty once he recovered. He spent 20 years in the Air Force as a training and personnel officer helping to shape the futures of young Airmen. His favorite assignment was as Commandant of the 313th Air Division Military Academy at Kadena, Okinawa.

After his discharge, he and Virginia stayed in Annapolis, where they raised their three children. They were married for 72 years, until her death at age 94 in 2017.

“The phrase ‘surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life’ is appropriate for me,” he said, reflecting on his long life.

Read their full story.

“Caring for our older Veterans, including those who have just turned 100, is a testament to our gratitude and respect for their service,” said Jona DeVera, coordinator for Outpatient Antimicrobial Therapy. “It’s an honor to serve them.”

Maryland VA offers specialized programs for eligible elderly Veterans. These services include home and community services, long-term care, fitness and rehabilitation, caregiver support, mental health, memory loss and brain health, medical foster homes and many more innovative programs that promote health and wellness.

Suicide Prevention Conference call for abstracts. Veterans

 

Suicide Prevention Conference call for abstracts

Conference set for July 16-18 in Portland, Oregon

February 19, 2024

Suicide Prevention Conference Planning Team

The health and well-being of the nation’s service members and Veterans continues to be a top priority for VA and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). We are partnering again this year to host the 2024 VA/DoD Suicide Prevention Conference, the nation’s only conference dedicated to addressing military and Veteran suicide prevention.

The conference is scheduled to be held July 16–18 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.

Guided by the National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide and Department of Defense Strategy for Suicide Prevention, VA and DoD care teams, leaders, allies and subject matter experts from across the country are invited to come together and share comprehensive and public health-based strategies to prevent suicide nationwide. Submit your abstract today.

Increasing the reach

This year’s theme—”Reimagining Suicide Prevention: Evolving and Innovating to Meet Diverse Needs”—focuses on innovative ways to reach at-risk service members and Veteran populations. This especially includes historically underserved and growing populations, such as Women, LGBTQ+, American Indian and Alaskan Native, and others.

We are seeking abstracts that address one or more of the following strategic directions:

1. Increasing the knowledge of and ability to engage with current effective practices and evidence-based approaches to prevent suicide. 
2. Increasing awareness of clinical and community prevention, intervention and postvention strategies, tools and programs that will enhance equitable, and inclusive population access.
3. Increasing the ability to promote innovative, sustainable strategies and interventions that meet the current and future needs of all Veterans, service members and those who support them. 

Submit your abstract today

The due date for abstract submissions is March 4 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Go to the Conference Platform to submit your abstract.
