Okanogan County Veteran Services (Thomas Even, Veterans Service Officer, Tonasket)

The office. The county's Veteran Services page welcomes: "Welcome to the Veterans Services Office!" and sets out the VA basics it works from: "Veterans of the United States armed forces may be eligible for a broad range of programs and services provided by the VA. Eligibility for most VA benefits is based upon discharge from active military service under other than dishonorable conditions, and certain benefits require service during wartime." The page's sections run Health Care, Benefits and Services (compensation, pension, survivors' benefits, rehabilitation and employment assistance, education assistance, home loan guaranties, life insurance) and Burial and Memorials (interment, headstones and markers, Presidential memorial certificates, the 128 national cemeteries and the 33 soldiers' lots, Confederate cemeteries and monument sites). The forms. The office's Links & Forms list carries the SF 180 (Request for Records), VA Form 10-3542 (Travel Reimbursement), VA Form 3288, VA Form 40-0247, the Presidential letter request and VA Form 5655; its Veteran Resources list runs from DAV and eBenefits through My HealtheVet, VA, USAJobs, Vet Jobs and Military.com to the WDVA.
