"Since 1998, the Gloucester County Commissioner Board has been working to improve the services that are available to our Veterans and their families. To that end, we have increased our Office of Veterans Affairs from a part-time office to a full-time office." Its services list runs from Agent Orange, appeals of claims and VA disability forms through burial benefits, headstone assistance, flags, educational benefits, pension ("Widow, widower and Veteran"), state benefits, tax exemptions and transportation to veterans hospitals. The office also assists with VA healthcare enrollment: the county's healthcare page directs applicants to mail VA applications, DD-214 and insurance cards to "Office of Veterans Affairs, P.O. Box 337, Woodbury NJ, 08096" or call (856) 401-7660.
