Somerset County Veterans Services is accredited by the Department of Veteran's Affairs.
We are managed and run by dedicated Veteran professionals from multiple branches.
Our goal is to help Veterans, Service Members, and their Families navigate the complex process of accessing the benefits and services they have earned through military service. Our Veteran Service Officers (VSO) act as knowledgeable advocates, guiding you through filing claims for disability compensation, pensions, education benefits, healthcare, and more.
Whether you need assistance understanding eligibility requirements, completing paperwork, or appealing a denied claim; a member of our team will be there to ensure your rights are protected and your benefits are maximized. We work closely with government agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other support organizations within the County to provide personalized, confidential help—at no cost to you.
