“Veterans should not ignore their VA or state benefits needs during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said DVS Secretary-Designate Sonya L. Smith. “ Veterans Service Officers can help you with filing processes for state and federal benefits, which can be complicated. We can answer questions about the state’s COVID-19 vaccine enrollment program. And if you need help with any other issues, you don’t have to face any crisis alone–we are here for you.”

Veterans can also choose to seek assistance with other DVS veterans service officers anytime by phone or email via the contact information below:
