Napa County Veterans Service Office

The county's own statement (read from the October 29, 2025 capture): "The Napa County Veterans Service Office (CVSO) serves all veterans and their dependents, helping to present and pursue any claim against the Department of Veterans Affairs. Every effort is made to establish the right of veterans and dependents to any privilege, preference, care or compensation provided by the Federal or State government. Your Veterans Service Office provides assistance with completion of claims forms, obtaining documents and other evidence necessary to support claims and preparation of appeals of adverse decisions. Information about and referral to other service providers and programs is also provided." Orientations. "We conduct an orientation to veterans services every Tuesday of each month at 1:30 p.m. The one-hour program, held at 650 Imperial Way, covers the major benefit programs from the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs ('The VA'), the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) and local programs as well. Following the orientation, attendees can make appointments to meet with a veterans representative to discuss issues and apply for benefits. For reservations, please call 707-253-4558." Who is served: "Veterans, spouses, dependent children, dependent parents and surviving family members are eligible for services. Program participants are required to submit documentation of military service." The FAQ adds: proof of service is the original or certified DD-214, "we can make a veteran identification card for you"; the office faxes a request to the Military Records Center for a lost DD-214 (two to three weeks); and the DMV's Veteran designation needs the office's completion of the form with an original or certified DD-214 (the DMV charging $5). The office sits in the Health and Human Services Agency's Comprehensive Services for Older Adults. Where and when.
