About Veterans' Services

We provide benefits information, assistance and advocacy to all who have served and their families.

What we do

The goal of the Veterans Services Office is to provide benefits information, assistance and advocacy to all who have served and their families. Many Veterans are unsure of their entitlement to benefits so we ask that anyone who identifies as having served to contact our office to be directed to an appropriate resource.

Veterans' Services Office staff are trained and accredited by the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs to represent veterans in their claims for benefits. They are well-versed in applicable state and federal laws to provide the best representation possible to veterans and surviving spouses for their entitlement to VA benefits and appeals.
