Frequently asked questions
What benefits does American Samoa offer to disabled veterans?
American Samoa benefit data is being verified. Federal benefits are available to all veterans regardless of state.
Do I need a specific disability rating to qualify for American Samoa veteran benefits?
Many American Samoa benefit programs require a minimum VA disability rating — commonly 10%, 50%, or 100%. Some programs, such as education assistance or employment preference, have no rating requirement. Check each benefit listing on this page for the specific threshold.
Do I need to be a American Samoa resident to claim state veteran benefits?
Most American Samoa state benefits require current state residency. Some programs require continuous residency for one or more years. Federal VA benefits are available to all eligible veterans regardless of state of residence.
Can I stack American Samoa benefits with federal VA benefits?
Yes — in most cases, state and federal veteran benefits are stackable. For example, a property tax exemption from American Samoa does not reduce your federal VA disability compensation. Some federal needs-based programs may offset certain state payments; review each program's terms.
Where do I apply for American Samoa veteran benefits?
Applications for American Samoa state benefits are typically submitted through the American Samoa Department of Veterans Affairs or the administering state agency. Application links are listed directly on each benefit card on this page. Federal VA benefits are applied for at VA.gov.
Is an honorable discharge required to qualify for American Samoa veteran benefits?
Most American Samoa state benefit programs and all federal VA benefit programs require an honorable or general (under honorable conditions) discharge. Veterans with other-than-honorable discharges may still qualify for some programs; consult a VSO or accredited claims agent for individual eligibility.
