Goliad County Indigent Health and Veteran Services (Chaliise Mackey), Goliad

The office. The county's page is headed "Indigent Health and Veteran Services": Chaliise Mackey, Franklin Street Annex, 329 W. Franklin Street (P.O. Box 938), Goliad, TX 77963; phone 361-645-8221. The page describes only the County Indigent Health Care Program, and its contact form is for "Indigent Health or Veteran Services"; it gives no hours and does not say whether the office files VA claims, so call first. A county officer files VA and State claims under Government Code chapter 434 (see the Texas entry); where the county's office cannot, the Texas Veterans Commission's claims counselors help any veteran free. TexVet's county list names JoAnn Ybarbo, at the same number, with [email protected]. How the county funds it.
