Veteran Re-entry Search Service (VRSS)

Veteran Re-Entry Search Service (VRSS) is an automated interface system designed to allow federal, state, and local correctional facility staff to upload their inmate registry listings. An automated algorithm will use identity information from the Veteran Affairs/Department of Defense Information Repository (VADIR) for identity incarcerated individuals and those in the court system who have served in the military. The electronic listings of Veterans and their probable eligibility status will be transmitted back to the originating correctional facility and court system, in conjunction with Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) and Healthcare for Re-entry Veterans (HCRV) organizations in order to assist Veterans who have benefits and facilitate outreach.
