Washington County Veteran Services helps veterans and their families apply for federal benefits related to their service. We have information about benefits based on a veteran’s service in the armed forces.
The Federal Veterans Administration (VA) is a large system that can be hard to understand. Veteran Service Officers (VSOs) are familiar with this system. They are here to help free of charge.
Learn more about how Washington County Veteran Services can help with the VA claims process by watching the Veteran Services benefits overview video.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. One in five female veterans and one in 100 male veterans have told their VA health care provider they have experienced military sexual trauma. If you or someone you care about is a veteran who has experienced sexual violence or assault, join us to connect with others and express your emotions on a t-shirt for a future Clothesline Project display. Shirts and supplies will be provided.
