Desha 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 Department of Veterans Affairs' county finder (last updated August 19, 2026) lists Andre Dobbs at 901 Holly St., McGehee (printed "McGhee"), AR 71654, (870) 222-4314, [email protected], Monday and Tuesday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The office is in McGehee rather than at the courthouse in Arkansas City. The county has no website to compare. Desha is in the Department's District 5, whose District Veterans Service Officer is Sue Harper in Monticello, (870) 623-6900. The Quorum Court. No minutes or budget are posted online, so the office's appropriation is not published. 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 Desha.
