Military Severely Injured Joint Support Operations Center (MSIJOC) with "care managers" standing by call: 1 888-774-1361.
Traumatic Injury Insurance -– Severely injured warriors in Iraq and Afghanistan also will get cash payments under a rider to Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) approved as part of the Emergency Supplemental Wartime Appropriations Act
Severely Injured Center serves as a back-stop to every other government program intended to help military members and veterans who suffer severe physical or mental wounds from war. If a severely injured veteran has hit a roadblock with finances, education, job assistance, counseling or child care, they should call the center. The goal is to prevent them from falling through the cracks of more well-publicized programs from the services, the Department of Veteran Affairs or any other federal agency.
