Coaching into Care

The Department has the responsibility of training the Tribal Service Officers and County Veterans Service Officers (who service 53 counties), appointed by their respective County Board of Commissioners. The department disseminates current information to the state veteran population through the use of news media, County Veterans Service Officers and veterans organizations.

The Department also conducts a minimum of two training seminars each year. We accept and carry through to completion claims for entitlement from the US DVA (VA), counsel veterans on employment, educational programs, disability benefits, medical care entitlement, nursing home assistance, death benefits, and other related veterans activities. The Department, working under the supervision of the Administrative Committee, also monitors legislation and assists others in acquiring information. We also administer the Veterans Aid Loan Program, the Transportation Program, and Hardship Grant Program.

We hope that your questions are answered by the information you will find on this site; if they are not, or you would like further details on a particular issue, please don't hesitate to contact us.
