Field Services Division

The Field Services Division’s veterans service officers (VSOs) assist veterans and their eligible dependents with filing VA claims and obtaining federal and state benefits.  Our VSOs also help connect veterans to vital community resources, such as transitional housing and medical and behavioral health care.  Information and assistance on federal and state benefits, local veterans’ programs, and referral services is available at any of our field office locations.
