"The Ulster County Veteran Services Agency (UCVSA) provides support to County veterans and their families in obtaining medical, disability, pension and education benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the NYS Department of Veteran Affairs. The UCVSA also helps veterans with issues such as homelessness, burials, tax exemptions, employment, transportation and the FAVOR discount card program". Its accredited Veteran Benefit Officers also hold benefits hours at the Trudy Center in Kingston.
Rides. "We provides transportation daily from Kingston to the Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany for Ulster County veterans (AM appointments only). Additional feeder routes can accommodate veterans in the Ellenville and Boiceville corridors at designated pick-up points and consolidate to the Kingston van schedule. Wheelchair-bound veterans may also request special transportation to the Albany VAMC or Kingston outpatient clinic. Reservations are required for all transportation."
