The office. The county's Offices list links "Veteran Services" to the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs' directory, which lists the Noble County Veteran Service Office, 109 N York Street, Albion, IN 46701; Tuesday to Thursday 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, "Other times by appointment"; office (260) 636-1298, fax (260) 636-3092. The county's service officers help with VA compensation, pension, health care, education and burial claims and with the State's benefits, including the disabled veteran property tax deduction (the Indiana entries). File State Form 12662 with the County Auditor by January 15, 2027 for taxes due in 2027; a totally disabled veteran who had the old $14,000 deduction must file again to get the new 100% deduction, or the county applies only the $250 credit. The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs says State Form 51186 "is no longer used", and the service officer can complete the form's Section VIII certificate. See the Indiana entries on the 100 percent deduction and the $350 and $250 credits. Who. The directory names Barry Mooney. The Commissioners' minutes record a change: on November 24, 2025 the County Coordinator reported that "Mike Clouse, Veterans Service Officer ... will be retiring at the end of January", and the job was posted; on January 26, 2026, "The commissioners had received 7 applications for the VSO position.

With this information and the new requirements, the commissioners would like to increase the pay to $25,000.00 from the $19473.00 annual salary now being paid." Approved 3-0.
