Washington County Veteran Services helps veterans and their families apply for federal benefits related to their service. We have information about benefits based on a veteran’s service in the armed forces.
The Federal Veterans Administration (VA) is a large system that can be hard to understand. Veteran Service Officers (VSOs) are familiar with this system. They are here to help free of charge.
Learn more about how Washington County Veteran Services can help with the VA claims process by watching the Veteran Services benefits overview video.
