Veterans Affairs

The Jefferson County Veterans Affairs Office assists Veterans and eligible dependents in applying for federal, state and county benefits. We advocate for Veterans and assist with all aspects of applying for benefits.  Additionally, we may refer Veterans and dependents to other federal, state, county agencies and organizations that might further assist them in solving their problems or answering their questions.

Our office provides free transportation to VA medical facilities for Veterans, through a county DAV program.  Our vehicle is driven by volunteer drivers and rides are coordinated by our office.

While we will make every effort to assist walk-ins, we strongly recommend that you call for an appointment to ensure a Veteran Service Officer is available to talk with you and/or avoid a long wait.
