VA Text Messaging System
Veterans have recently been receiving text message communication from the VA regarding their VA care and benefits. In the age of phishing scams and internet fraud, many Veterans understandably have concerns that these text messages are some form of trojan horse designed to steal your information.
However, please be aware that the text messages have actually been coming from the VA. This is because these Veterans have signed up for the VA Vetext program to receive updates on their care.
The VA Vetext program is a communications platform used by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to improve engagement with veterans. It primarily utilizes text messaging (SMS) to send reminders, notifications, and other health-related information to veterans who are enrolled in VA healthcare services.
