The Hamilton County Veteran Services Office is the county service office every Indiana county must keep under IC 10-17-1-9; see the Indiana entry. Veterans Service Officer Tom Logan; 1 Hamilton County Square, Suite 179, Noblesville 46060; 317-776-9610 ([email protected]). By appointment only, weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; "walk-in appointments are currently unavailable due to staffing constraints". An online claims assistance request is on the page.
What it does. VA disability compensation and appeals, Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, pension, health care enrolment, and State Form 12662 for the property tax deduction and credits (see the Auditor entry).
Burial benefit. The page says survivors and family of Hamilton County veterans "could be eligible for a County Burial Benefit of $500 within 1 year upon death". IC 10-17-10-1 lets a county pay up to $1,000, set by ordinance, for an Indiana resident veteran whose discharge is not on the relief fund's disqualifying list, someone who died in service, or the spouse of either; the statute sets no one-year deadline, so a late claim should still be filed. See the Indiana entry on the county burial allowance.
Oversight. In June 2024 the Commissioners told veterans they had sued the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs over its statutory duty to supervise county service officers (IC 10-17-1-9(c)(3)) after performance problems with an officer they had appointed; a judge ruled for the County on May 17, 2024 and the Department appealed. In September 2025 the Commissioners approved a Veterans Affairs Strategic Plan, chiefly to study a VA health centre in the county.
