Senator Cory Booker released an updated 2027 Veterans Handbook on Veterans Day to help New Jersey service members access the benefits they have earned.
The guide serves as a centralized resource for federal and state services, aiming to bridge the gap between military service and civilian life. For many veterans, the transition involves a complex web of bureaucracy involving healthcare, employment, and education. Booker’s office designed this specific iteration to act as a clear starting point for those using these systems.
“Those conversations are a powerful reminder that honoring our veterans means making sure they can get the care, benefits, and support they’ve earned,” said Senator Cory Booker.
The handbook targets veterans at various life stages, including those currently preparing to leave the military and those who have been in the civilian workforce for years. It consolidates information on several critical pillars of post-service life.
- Healthcare benefits and support services
- Employment opportunities and workforce centers
- Federal and state education programs
- Crisis support services
Beyond the veterans themselves, the document is intended for family members who often act as primary caregivers or advocates. Booker said that his recent engagements in Paramus and Holmdel provided direct insight into the specific challenges facing local military families.
“Whether you’re coming home from military service, looking for your next job, or helping a loved one figure out where to turn for care, finding help shouldn’t be hard,” Booker said.
By providing a state-specific roadmap, the office seeks to reduce the friction inherent in federal benefit applications.
The 2027 Veterans Handbook is available online through the Senator’s official website. Residents who prefer a physical copy can request a printed version by contacting the Newark office at (973) 639-8700 or the Camden office at (856) 338-8922.

“Veterans Day is a time to thank those who served, but our responsibility to them continues every day of the year,” Booker said.
