The Service Department has three Service Officers, certified and trained by the Governors Office of Veterans Affairs. These officers serve as a link between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the veterans and their families, assisting them to apply for any benefits to which they may be entitled. These services are provided without charge, and the officer shall not be liable for any errors of omissions or commission that may possibly occur.

All veterans should bring their DD 214 to our office for record purposes and for possible future benefits. If you do not have this record, our Service Officers can help you apply for this and record it in the Richland County Recorder’s Office, so you will never have to worry about getting one again.
