Helping veterans make the most of their benefits

We can help you figure out your eligibility for State and Federal benefits, find a record of discharge documents, file claims for either compensation or pension, and explain programs that might be of interest to a veteran and their family. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs have developed many programs that are for veterans (requirements apply for each of these programs), including but not limited to:

  • Disability Compensations
  • Income-based Pension
  • Healthcare
  • Education Benefits
  • Primary Home Loans
  • Tuition Assistance
  • Retraining Grants

    Eligibility requirements

  • You must hold residency in Washington County.
  • You must be a service-connected, honorably discharged military veteran
  • You must have Community Care or Tri-Care insurance
  • If you do not, Washington County can help you become connected to one of these payers to ensure you’re able to receive services. Plus, we do offer free services for uninsured veterans.
