The Newark VA Regional Office is one of
fifty-seven stations located throughout the Nation
that provides services and benefits to honorably
discharged veterans of the U. S. Military and their
dependents. The Newark VA Regional Office
services the 600,000 veterans residing in the State
of New Jersey and their dependents. The Office
processes claims for
Compensation and Pension,

2004 the Office was

Newark Regional Office has participated yearly in the
Homeless Veteran Stand Downs held every fall in New
