What are Veteran's Services?

By law, each Town and City in the Commonwealth has to have a Veterans’ Service Officer/ Veterans’ Agent to serve the veterans of that city or town.

There are both benefits and services provided to veterans. Benefits related to food, clothing, shelter and medical care for veterans of all wars and their dependents. Services relate to processing claims for veterans and their dependents. These include compensation, V.A. pensions (service and non-service connected) rehabilitation, counseling relative to employment, Social Security, Supplementary Security Income and a variety of other areas.
