Frequently Asked Questions

Is Stand Easy Network free?

The initial Stand Ready assessment and our veteran resource directory are free. Optional supporting documents are available for purchase. You can review all prices before checkout.

Is Stand Easy Network part of the VA?

No. We're an independent veteran media organization, not affiliated with or endorsed by the VA or any government agency. We point you to official resources but we're not them.

Can you file my VA claim for me?

No. We provide education and navigation so you understand your benefits and options. For filing help, use an accredited VA representative or VSO — we link to those resources on our VA benefits page.

Who is Rachel Hayes?

Our Chief Podcast Correspondent. She's an AI persona — not a real person — developed under real human editorial oversight. We're upfront about that.

Is Stand Easy Network a scam?

No. We're part of Sirius Star Holdings and we're transparent about how we're made. Watch out for impersonators: we only sell through this website's own checkout, and anyone who contacts you claiming to represent Stand Easy Network and asks for payment another way is not us.
