No GDVS field office is listed for Elbert County: the State’s own find-an-office list names none, and the nearest posted office is Athens

Add to roadmap

The Georgia Department of Veterans Service's find-an-office list - read 2026-11-03 - names no field service office for Elbert County: the Athens office's row serves "Barrow, Clarke, Hart, Jackson, Madison, Oconee, and Oglethorpe" and no row in the list carries Elbert, so an Elbert veteran's GDVS claims route is the Athens Veterans Field Service Office (Veterans Service Officer and Manager Matt Williamson and Veterans Service Officer Carie Lince, 706-733-0188 ext. 45575, 9249 U.S. Highway 29, Athens, GA 30601), the nearest posted office, or the GDVS's central office; the absence is the State's own roster, read whole.

Also called: GDVS, Georgia Department of Veterans Service, no field office, not listed, Athens, Matt Williamson, Carie Lince, 706-733-0188, 9249 U.S. Highway 29, claims, compensation, pension, Elberton.

Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Elbert County, GACounty

The absence. The GDVS's find-an-office list carries a row for each county the department serves, and no row names Elbert: the Athens row - the nearest office to Elberton - reads "Athens - Barrow, Clarke, Hart, Jackson, Madison, Oconee, and Oglethorpe - 9249 U.S. Highway 29 Athens, GA 30601". The list was read whole on 2026-11-03; the absence is the State's own record, not a gap in this catalog. The nearest posted route. The Athens office: "Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are accepted as time permits." The contacts: "Veterans Service Officer and Manager Matt Williamson" and "Veterans Service Officer Carie Lince", both at (706) 733-0188, ext. 45575. Hours: "Monday - Friday: 09:00 a.m. - 04:30 p.m." - closed Saturday and Sunday, all Eastern. The page offers online scheduling through ReFrame. Athens sits in Clarke County, so an Elbert veteran travels there rather than walking to an office in Elberton. The county's own record. No separate county veterans service office appears on the county site: elbertga.us's menus name the magistrate/probate court, the clerk of court, the coroner, the tax offices, the road department, fire and the county offices, and no veterans line. See the Georgia State entries for the claims the GDVS files and for the central office's contact routes.
