Chicot County (Arkansas) Veterans Service Office

What it is. An Arkansas county veterans service officer is employed by the county judge and paid from the Quorum Court's budget, trained and accredited through the Department of Veterans Affairs, and partly reimbursed by the State under section 20-81-106: one dollar for every two the county spends, up to $3,600 a year, or $4,800 in a county with more than 2,500 veterans, plus $500 a quarter each for VA accreditation and for access to VA's benefits system; see the Arkansas entry on the Department and county service officers. Help with a claim is free. Who and when.

The County Judge, Tom Mosley, is at 417 Main St., Lake Village, (870) 265-8015. The budget. Chicot's 2026 budget carries department 0800, "Veteran's Affair", in the County General fund at $14,405: $8,736 in part-time salary (the salary survey's "Veterans Service Officer 8,736") with matching, $200 in supplies, and computer, phone, postage, travel and fleet insurance lines. The veterans court. None: the Tenth Circuit's plan for 2026 names drug courts only, and the Judiciary's veterans treatment court map does not shade Chicot.
