Veterans Service Agency
Mission Statement
The Putnam County Veterans Service Agency works year-round to ensure that all veterans and their dependents receive the maximum benefits from the federal Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies at all levels of government. We will provide you with detailed information about specific veteran benefits, and what you need to do to apply for them.
As advocates for veterans and their families, Putnam County Veterans Service Agency counselors work closely with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal, state, local, and private agencies to provide optimal service at the local level. Services include free accredited representation, securing military and personal records, obtaining medals and awards and assistance with veterans real property tax exemption filing and veterans medical ID card enrollment.
