Its services: "Burial Assistance" and "Records Maintenance"; "Providing grave markers, flags, and holders for all county veterans' graves"; "Financial assistance to county cemeteries holding veterans"; State benefits applied for through the office - "Tax exemption and educational assistance for 100% disabled veterans" and "Emergency Assistance Applications for the blind (paralyzed veterans and veteran's homes)"; and federal veterans benefits - "Health Care, Service-Connected Compensation, Pension assistance for disabled, unemployable veterans" - with "Counseling for surviving family members and returning veterans".

The Commissioners' minutes of October 2025 to October 2026 record the department's salaries of record (Miller $28.91 an hour, Fratrik Engle $18.57, January 8, 2026), the building work above, and the county's announcements of the Northern Tier Veterans Group's 10th Annual Veterans Appreciation Day Picnic at Mountaineer Park, Monroeton, June 13, 2026 (read into the June 10, 2026 meeting, where the board also advertised the parking-lot bid).
