What it is. An Arkansas county veterans service officer is employed by the county judge, trained and accredited through the Department of Veterans Affairs and partly paid by the State (see the Arkansas entry on the Department and county service officers). Crawford's 2026 budget carries one Veterans Service Officer in the County Judge's office. Help with a claim is free. The county's page lists the federal benefits the office helps with: VA health care, compensation for service-connected disabilities, vocational rehabilitation, pensions, education, home loans, insurance, burial benefits, help for dependents and survivors, appeals of VA decisions, and military medals and records. Where and when. "Veterans Service Office, 300 Main Street, Room 4, Van Buren, Arkansas 72956; 479-471-3200; 479-343-1008 (fax); Nicole Licari. Hours: M-F 8:30am-3:00pm. Closed 12:00pm-1:00pm for lunch. Closed 3:00pm-5:00pm for claim processing." The Department's county finder (last updated August 19, 2026) lists the same officer, room and phone, with hours of "M-F 8:00 am - 5:00 pm" and the email [email protected]. The two official sources disagree on the hours; the county's own page is the likelier to be current, but call before driving in. The Veterans' Fair. The office runs a Crawford County Veterans' Fair with sponsors: the Quorum Court appropriated $260 sponsorships from Mercy Crest (April 2026) and Harbor House (July 2026) to the Veterans Service's line for it. Ask the office when the next one is.
