# AIVA Claims > AIVA Claims is a program of an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps U.S. military veterans organize and prepare VA disability claim documents. The service is donor-funded and free to veterans; it does not file claims or determine eligibility. Every public page is also available as Markdown at the same URL with `.md` appended (the homepage at `/index.md`), or by requesting the page with `Accept: text/markdown`. VA compensation rates on the site are effective 2025-12-01 (10%: $175.51/month, 100%: $3938.58/month, veteran alone). The FAQ answers 22 questions. AIVA's Benefits Finder uses a VA disability rating to surface relevant federal benefit categories and VA's state-office directory. It relies on verified official sources and does not determine eligibility. ## Services - [Home](https://aivaclaims.com/): What AIVA does, who it is for, and how to start. - [Home (Markdown)](https://aivaclaims.com/index.md): Markdown alternate of https://aivaclaims.com/. -
