Yes, absolutely. I'd go a step further and have those benefits and services clearly identified in a document on release, so that the release procedure includes a seamless process into, “This is what you're entitled to; this is how you access it” both in writing and in a counselling one-on-one briefing, so that these individuals are not left not knowing. It needs good documentation so they have something to take home.
I would suggest follow-ups by the next stage, which would be Veterans Affairs reaching out and saying, “Did you get your package? Do you understand the package? Is there anything we can do with that package?” That would mean that Veterans Affairs would have to receive some sort of contact point from the released individual.
