Veterans
As the daughter of a veteran, I am committed to ensuring that our veterans are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, and that our government honors their service and sacrifices not just in words, but in deeds.
I believe we must honor our moral obligation to our veterans and returning soldiers by providing the health care, pensions and benefits that they deserve. I have consistently fought to make sure that veterans get the health care, disability benefits and spousal benefits they earned and has worked to eliminate the back log of disability and other benefit claims that plague the system today.
How My Office Can Help
My office can assist with problems concerning Veteran’s Benefits. We frequently hear from constituents who need help finding out the status of their claims. My office can provide information about constituent’s claims, survivor benefits, medical treatment, medals, burials, and death benefits.
If you are a constituent of the 9th Congressional District and require direct assistance with recieving your federal veteran's benefits, please fill out the online Casework Form, or contact the District Office in Oakland at 510-763-0370.
