Welcome to California

The California Veterans Board

The California Veterans Board, part of CDVA, serves as an advocate for veterans affairs identifying needs and works to ensure and enhance the rights and benefits of California veterans and their dependents.

The Board consists of seven members appointed by the Governor, subject to the confirmation of the State Senate. All Board members shall be veterans. The Board reports to the Legislature annually regarding its activities, accomplishments and expenditures during the preceding fiscal year.

The Board determines the policies for all operations of CDVA. Any person deeming himself or herself a veteran and who applies for benefits may appeal any decision made by a division of the department to the Board.

The Board meets several times each year in different communities throughout California.
