• The mission of the Veterans Service Office is to help veterans navigate the system to receive their benefits. Assistants are accredited. • The programs are funded by Benton County, the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Medicaid Match, among others. • Claims may include: * Pension for the veteran or his survivors

* Compensation for service-connected disabilities * Dependency compensation for families * Education * Burial • Over the years the Office of Veteran Services has helped veterans recover benefits of

over $25,000,000. • Contacts with veterans comes through walk-ins, in-office and out-of-office interviews,

networking with other agencies, public presentations, boards and committees, communi-ty initiatives, and referrals. The VSO works to get the word out about its services.

• Citizens can help publicize the programs by posting information on workplace bulletin boards or scheduling short informational presentations for staff.
