The California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) works to serve California veterans and their families.

With nearly 1.8 million veterans living in the State, CalVet strives to ensure that its veterans of every era and their families get the state and federal benefits and services they have earned and deserve as a result of selfless and honorable military service.

CalVet strives to serve veterans and their families with dignity and compassion and to help them achieve their highest quality of life.

California’s regulations are generally proposed and adopted by state departments through an official public process. Regulations are rules which are necessary to carry out laws. Often regulations clarify laws in some way, for example by giving additional details or explaining processes.
