Veterans Outreach Events and Veteran Mobile Unit

Helping to Connect More Veterans, Service Members, and Military Families with their Earned Benefits
Veterans Outreach Events and Veteran Mobile Unit
Overview

Mobile Outreach Vans provide a unique and secure space for Veterans, Service Members, and Military Families to meet in confidence with a Veterans Benefits Advisor accredited by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), bringing this vital service to the places around New York State where Veterans, Service Members, and their families work, live, play, and thrive.

From a Mobile Outreach Van, a Veteran, Service Member, or Military Family member can work with a Veterans Benefits Advisor to file a claim or appeal for VA benefits, enroll in VA healthcare, receive guidance regarding the property tax exemption on their New York State residence, obtain their annual allotment of Fresh Connect Checks for redemption at farmers’ markets, and complete any other task that they would be able to fulfill inside a brick-and-mortar New York State Department of Veterans’ Services office.
