The Sunshine State is home to the third largest population of women veterans in the nation, with more than 160,000. Women veterans are one of the fastest growing segments of the veterans’ population. Of the approximately 22 million living veterans nationwide, about 1.9 million are women. They comprise nearly 10 percent of the total veterans’ population and nearly 5 percent of all veterans who use VA health care services.
Many women veterans don’t know that they are eligible for the full range of federal and state benefits, to include special programs for them. Here are some resources for women veterans.
Florida’s State Women Veterans’ Coordinator is Cynthia T. Brown. She can be reached at brownc@fdva.state.fl.us.
Larri Gerson, an Air Force veteran who serves as a veterans’ claims examiner for the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs and webmaster for the National Association of State Women Veterans Coordinators, was appointed in November 2012 to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee on Women Veterans. Gerson, a former state women veterans’ coordinator for the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs, can be contacted at gersonl@fdva.state.fl.us.
