What it does. Its veterans service officers file claims with VA and the State and help with appeals, help veterans file their discharge papers, refer to other County, State and federal agencies, support veterans' organizations, and make home visits to help housebound veterans with claims. It also runs the County's resident veteran ID card, the emergency assistance and home heating grants, and the Female Veterans of Suffolk County Registry, a voluntary outreach list the Legislature directed it to keep (Suffolk County Code 1168-1).
