Responsibilities
The responsibilities of the Veterans' Agent include providing information, advice and assistance to veterans and their dependants to enable them to procure benefits to which they are or may be entitled. These benefits include employment, vocational or other educational opportunities, hospitalization, medical care, burial and other veterans' benefits.
All veterans have the right to file for assistance through the Veterans' Agent, but you must qualify under Chapter 115 before any aid is granted. The State Commissioner of Veterans' Services is the final authorizer for all monetary requests.
Our Veterans' Agent works in close coordination with the State Office of Veterans' Services and other Veterans' Agents in Worcester County. Please contact us to request help in understanding your benefits, obtaining applications or completing forms. We are pleased to answer any questions or set up an appointment if needed.
