Erie County Veterans Service Agency

Our mission is to inform veterans, current service members, and their families of the many federal, state, and local benefits that they may be eligible for.

About

 Through community involvement, the office will remain a strong force in Erie County by working collaboratively with local veteran organizations and the veteran community to foster relationships and increase awareness with veterans and their families.  Erie County Veterans Services will help you navigate the Department of Veterans Affairs’ bureaucracy, and our services are free. We will help with gathering the information necessary to support a claim, filing the claim, and tracking the claim through the VA system. We can also assist with filing request for re-consideration or appeals for denied claims. We strongly recommend that you make use of the services provided by our Veterans Service Officers. Our expertise can help you avoid the pitfalls and delays that missing paperwork or improperly filled out claim forms can cause.

In addition to the normal benefits provided by law to survivors of deceased veterans, this is the only agency charged with and responsible for processing, at county expense, the burial of indigent veterans and next-of-kin of veterans.
