    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has renamed its Educational and Career Counseling benefit to Personalized Career Planning and Guidance (PCPG). This change, effective from October 1, 2020, aims to improve recognition and outreach for the counseling services offered under Chapter 36. These services cater to Service members, Veterans, and eligible dependents, providing career counseling, education planning, and guidance tailored to individual needs. The new name also supports the VA's efforts to facilitate a smoother military-to-civilian transition for its beneficiaries.
