What it is. An Arkansas county veterans service officer is employed by the county judge and paid from the Quorum Court's budget, trained and accredited through the Department of Veterans Affairs, and partly reimbursed by the State under section 20-81-106 (one dollar for every two the county spends, up to $4,800 a year in a county with more than 2,500 veterans, plus $500 a quarter each for VA accreditation and for access to VA's benefits system); see the Arkansas entry on the Department and county service officers. Help with a claim is free. Union County's site has no page of its own for the office; the Tax Collector's page sends veterans to it: "For more information on Veteran entitlements please contact our local Veteran's Office, 101 North Washington, Room 109, or (870) 864-1909, Monday - Wednesday, 6:00am - 3:00pm."
